UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
感情很细腻。
这是在没有圈看这一两年电影以来映后最温暖的一场，两个女主/导演/观众间都建立起来了很好很真实的羁绊，也正是导演所强调的对爱真实存在的证明。
好喜欢！！全天下的麻麻都是最棒的！！ 我要一辈子当我妈的妈宝！！！
扑面而来的质朴和真实感，一下子梦回在潮汕生活的日子。
心情很柔软的情况下随意点开的电影。烟火气很喜欢，看的想去潮汕，但故事本身太套路了。就是平平常常的，3.5吧！
看到片中间的时候，就在想千万不要是俗套的烂结局，一点也不现实。不过，也真有点害怕这片子有过于现实，还是会期待一个圆满的结局。
2男主开车带着母亲从机场回来。车窗玻璃倒映着飞机(车里面的人和飞机上了的人镜中交叉），暗示后来的重逢。
难得一见国内好的喜剧片，不知道为什么觉得有台湾电影的影子。最后两个人是怎么复合的，加一个十分钟的戏就更好了！ “你妈是不是很没用”，虽然有了心理准备，还是被这句话戳到！
母亲离开前看守店的儿子，人设立住了。
唱戏做生意。父亲人设立住。
十分应景地在深圳和三个潮汕朋友一起看了这部电影，三个人都看哭了。而我，作为外省人和旁观者，对于不熟悉的文化背景和这种过深的家庭观念，虽有感动但并未被触动太多。
挺有意思的。这个我应该没有什么共鸣的题材我居然哭了。有点感人啊。
语言蕴含着很多气息，方言电影更有味道。本土演员更生动，用得好。
处处可见尴尬和捉襟见肘，但仍然能感受到那份诚意。
369，七十二家房客梗。
比上一部好很多，当地的习俗什么的都很好，而且这潮汕话不看字幕的话，最多听懂五成
可能美中不足的是进入主题太慢了，铺设了大半天，情节点一都没出来。整部片子有头重脚轻的嫌疑。
学了两句话，jiashei，niá jiaseí 粗鄙卡米阿🤣
最后，功夫茶是真的好喝的，单丛最好喝了。
尽管结尾的美好收尾多少有大团圆意味的惯性，但整部片带来的情感冲击还是从头到尾的。虽然父母不是“我妈”那样的女性，但“我妈”又确确实实具有了强烈的代表性：既是弱势又颇强势的母亲，终日大梦而唱戏的（孱弱）散父。以及家庭关系中冲突争执/温情互慰的共生瞬间。一时间很难指斥谁又完全挺谁。这样的兼容式文本处理很棒。作为潮汕人，这几年也一直思考关于潮汕文本的创作思路，以前很多过于文旅思路有点大鸣大放和浮浅，这一回倒是接上了“可远观可近叹”的共情状态。整体很好，看得心肠软了。加油。
