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.
很给力的吐槽哈哈哈。最后第五颗星加给最后一幕，照向生活的投影✨
看一半的时候觉得这部电影有点模仿伍迪艾伦而不得的样子，少了点知识分子式的精致，有点太乡土味。看完后则恍然觉得，有时候观感还是得遵从本心，不得不承认本片拍上海拍的很到位，我所知道的上海，本来就不那么曼哈顿，不那么精致。几场餐桌戏让我意识到本片剧本的精髓并不在于它技巧本身有多么的老练，而是它恰到好处的知道如何利用上海人本身就有的一点点小造作来遮掩剧情衔接处的生涩，反而迸发出一些意想不到的喜剧效果。
还有红拂夜奔护手霜之类的细节也值得玩味。太棒了！为导演点赞！
3.5. Neither a masterpiece of realism nor a disastrous, complete sham, this film is roughly as good (or as bad) as a mid-tier Rob Reiner/Norah Efron rom-com. The real question is whether we could still afford to enjoy such a film innocently in this day and age.
为老白和老吴这对朋友，大多数人一生真称得上朋友的，也就那么几个人，抑或就一个，也可能一个都没有。
已經記不得多長時間沒去上海了。我一說起我對這座城市的感情。多數人的反應還是不解。上海予我有著不易啓齒並非同凡響的意義。其它的城市。好一點的是像一個城市。不好的是在模擬一個城市的樣子。而上海。它就是一座城市。有下不完的雨。走不盡的路。看不夠的人。。
挺好的。众人聊天局确实有《繁花》的味道。老乌最后讲故事那段还挺动人的。配乐的节奏感可以做更好。
影片全程飙上海话，徐峥说「你就把它当成伍迪艾伦的电影来看就行了」……表面是说看配音不误，也透露了风格参照系：城市、爱情、话痨、俏皮、知识分子气……确实有点伍迪艾伦电影的意思，还是导演处女作，挺难的。
中年爱情，美妆达人，各种上海专属烟火气，每一个都踩到我的点。感觉电影院里上海宁含量超标，因为播到用上海话骂人时整个电影院大概除了我都笑了……（真是第一次听……）但还是想吐槽——别说上海，一线城市哪有天没黑就能下班的广告公司……
上海话成为粤语之外第二喜欢的方言，嗲的浑然天成，嬉笑怒骂都有一股别样风情，这样想想选择去上海工作说不定也会有一些不一样的体验。
看上去老白是最软弱、好说话的那一个，但是他是选择最坚定的，从头到尾都知道自己想要什么。
群戏台词写得挺有意思的，不过也就仅此而已，可算是知道那些土狗艺术展都是谁在买账了，能得到我尊重的是真正的生活，不是手握上海几套房衣食无忧的文艺青年讲的俏皮话。
妈的真的好好看好好看❤，好讨厌那些把这片子和费里尼比的朋友们呜呜呜，不同视角评价确实好，但反正我是100个夸，还有作为在上海活了二十余年的老头子我觉得这上海滤镜害蛮自然，喜欢🌹🌹🌹
就是小品的格局，但在格局下完成到了极致。周野芒老师结尾独白是真功夫。
在年轻人都享受着快餐式男女关系的时候，一群中年男女却开始了慢时光的情感推拉。两场餐桌戏，第一场语速惊人，金句频出如炸弹掷地有声，“女人不为自己活过是不完整的”，是有这样的女性角色，对白才有这样的力量；第二场反而慢下来，借由老乌的爱情神话为现实里成年人拎得清的世故注入一点诗意。追思会上打破第四面墙，主角看向银幕这边的观众，似乎在说“我们看不懂费里尼，但还是有爱的能力的，你呢”。
很不错，像《最完美的离婚》的中国版。最精彩的角色是马伊琍的妈妈，只露一鳞半爪，精彩尽显。
并不是宣传话语中的女性视角，而是有意无意地对标了《老炮儿》。当然上海没有北京老炮儿，上海有的是上海爷叔。该片面子是上海闲话的讥诮凉薄和市井人情，里子是两个老男人的春梦。比较难得的是并没有对所谓上海腔调真的沾沾自喜，而是用一种善意的调侃演绎了人到中年的苍凉，在嬉戏自嘲中流露了一抹深情，上一次有类似观感的影片还是伍仕贤的《独自等待》。
没有爱情，没有神话，有一个美好的略微欧洲化的上海，但并没有因此让人感觉不舒服。在这个插满红旗的地方，难得看到如此特立独行的上海，真美好。
非常好，属于从头到脚让人忍俊不禁的那种好，虽然很多手法都是别人用过的，依旧不落俗套，可能是因为台词太好盖住其手法。欢笑中带泪，如果泪点不落在老友的死，而落在某处莫名其妙的高妙地方，会更好。那么有“爱情神话”吗？马伊琍说我不信，徐峥说老乌是神话，我是笑话。结尾处导演还是给了一线新芽，这就是文艺作品的宽容和所谓的存在的“意义”，叫人绝境逢生，而不是平地求死
真不错呀，我看来这就是沪语中年版《独自等待》，同时还真有点的伍迪艾伦的意思。电影描摹外国人都说上海话的上海不能说写实，却是世人想象中那个精致的小资的却又有生活气的上海，有着恰到好处的黑色幽默在里面。
