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.
很常见的暧昧故事，东亚来拍就很纯情，老美来拍就是另一种大大咧咧的味道。
50/365 第一部PTA 女主眼间距好小
音乐好听，浪漫至极，与大时代背景完美契合。
看不下去了，再一看导演——PTA，怪不得。
一开始就是眉来眼去打情骂俏的校园爱情，第一眼就感觉和这电影的创作者不是同一频率的。接着看看男主角是个中二病+自来熟，女主角也总是一脸臭屁的表情，真正没法入眼。
（7.5）。拍出了真实不矫饰的姐弟恋关系，有点能体会。
奇奇怪怪的片名，故事倒是清新流畅，舒服的复古调调，但不管是忠犬也好，备胎也好，这不太像是爱情。几个客串很惊喜。
最近看的最舒心养胃，合情合理的电影。PTS找PSH的儿子演男主角，又合适又让人感慨。WYT
HAIM三姐妹真的太可爱了。PTA拍了一部青春美好的电影，25岁青年的成才烦恼。一堆大明星，每换一个片段就是“哇怎么ta也在”
反正看完了。
我已连续三天强迫自己看下去，终于看到了15min
怀旧感真强啊。七十年代属于大门乐队。没想到是这样一种成长史。
What a dream. Just a little bit self-indulgent as the nostalgic elements are given too much and too often，sometimes making the expression over the impression， and the instant sensation over the enduring feeling
完全喜欢不起来的片子，盖特不到PTA在片子里埋的梗。胶片一星，插曲一星，霍夫曼的儿子表演一星。
一股浓浓的复古风，看的时候观感其实挺矛盾的，一是剧情实在有点套路而随意，另外还有两位主角各自的作，在缘份面前相互吸引却又互相“嫌弃”，对命运的安排不听从，但又不愿在时代的洪流里被淹没，看得但导演的调度还是非常讲究的，人物状态也捕捉得很好，两位主角虽一脸路人感但也有各自吸引人的特质；片中最难忘的三次奔跑，一次是她跑向他，一次是他跑向她，最后的双向奔赴，相拥在一起，一句hi便足以浪漫致极。7.8
我家钢铁直男宝也津津有味地看完啦，给个好评。
故事框架是继承自《私恋失调》的，不过比《私恋失调》散了许多，故事的时间线被大幅拉长，视点也不聚焦于主角一个人，而是分散给了男女主双方，所以现代性下的紧凑感与压迫感大不如前。虽然主角同样是不能很好感知自己需求的无头苍蝇，但在这里被窄化到了青春期的迷茫，而不再是弥漫于整个现代性社会中的紧张
我想多了吗，政治元素好多，，，歌还是很好听
是没看过这个类型的爱情片，可也不咋感人啊，无法共情
可爱！那个片尾曲，growin up，我觉得很好听！
