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.
的确是一个情感细腻的电影，都在细微之处，而生活大多时候哪有波澜壮阔，都是细节构成的。。。
是个小故事，拍得很细巧。又觉得这个故事体量似乎不必动用到这么大的卡司，每个演员都在最自如的那个水平区域里发挥
我来安排一下：马伊琍和倪虹洁在一起。那个小gay，哦，也就是O和T在一起，第四爱。徐峥和老乌在一起。徐峥的前妻，和徐峥的老妈在一起。这个组合才对。
另外，难道就找不到一位上海的年轻演员吗？一个上海味的片子，普通话都显得异样。找一个同样文化环境的演员很难吗？
和平影都，4.0分。能理解多种反应，但也觉得这么轻快松弛的片子，也没必要背负那么多使劲儿解读（还是太文以载道了）。导演多少是聚焦在一个privileged world（土著、洋楼、编制、涉外婚姻、早期留学生，高度自洽也放弃了经济文化事实的代表性）；但邵艺辉目光是坦率、轻松、温和与细腻的，在这片合成的、相对空旷到可以谈情说爱的空间里，她让所有人处在爱说爱做、却又难以承诺的暧昧里（某种程度上，爱情在这里才是神话，而非工具或扯淡）。最喜欢老乌这条线，感觉到邵艺辉的敏感，老乌（的市民气质及他的神话般的故事）像像是一个本地化了的小神龛，属于那些国门重开后重叠旧梦新章的“世界/上海”叙事的早期信徒；也许错误、也许可笑、但他们真诚且存在；周野芒也演得很不错。
《北京遇上西雅图》系列3《上海遇上罗马城》
22年年度最佳预定。私心推荐大家都去康。
油盐酱醋，加一点装腔作势，底色是懒散软弱，这就是爱情神话？
B先生这种自在的杂家不少，现实生活里有几套房休闲做杂家的就不多了。。。
人物塑造得太虚浮了，每个人都浮于表面，虽然嘴上都讲着些中英混杂的“时髦”话，但是太容易看透，也太容易乏味，剧情就好像那个画展一样不知所云，从头忙到尾，最后连个画展的影子都没看到
近两年在影院看过最喜欢的电影，有种国片有救了的感觉 ps表白无双姐姐
虽然语系被强调和规划，但影像和文本却十分的多义和开放，属于年轻导演的创作活力与激荡天赋，终于在大陆的都市类型电影中强烈感受到了生活的一呼一吸，难能可贵的，是邵艺辉惊人的对当下的洞察和对未来的怀疑，她似乎是在保持距离的描绘这些中年男女，又似乎是在预言她这一代、这一批、这一类年轻人多年以后的成长样貌，以及两性关系有趣而严肃的演化，并直达最终的议题——生命中刻骨铭心却又荒诞多变的情感，和伴随产生的精神危机与生存焦虑，解答或许是困难的，但电影做出了可爱而朦胧的选择，并令人为之触动，还是要相信遇见索菲娅·罗兰的神话，家里挂着《爱情神话》剧照画作的老白自然无需再看费里尼，徐峥们也将现实的自己多少带入了电影，或道歉或释怀，银幕内外都被感染，那个动人的结局，作为观众的我们才是他们在看的电影，敬神话，敬生活。
我记得2000年左右（以前）的电影是这样的，说出来很不可思议，但真的电影这几年是越拍越烂，所以看到《爱情神话》竟然涌上一股股怀旧的心情。这样的都市片，虽然你知道生活里不可能有这么一群精彩的伶牙利嘴的角色，人这么少的咖啡店/酒吧/街道/弄堂，但就故事和人物而言，多少能从周围朋友的身上看到他们的影子。就算是艺术加工也是建立在某群真实的人物基础上的电影，这样就很好看，很动人。
1马伊琍的角色就是个见过好东西装逼的文艺逼 精致且落魄 慕强被割韭菜 心高气傲 反手就给一顶绿帽 你前妻都追不上 但凡人设立住李小姐你都不该找个老实人接盘 你喜欢老白的动机是什么 应该一婊到底 老实人我不要 你人好 我帮你可以 处对象门没有 要婊出骨气
我不喜欢上海，在我的理解中这座城市是排外的压迫的。
作为rom-com完成度蛮高的，像话剧。好奇如果拿掉「上海」这个context，故事和人物还可能吗？还是必须依附于这个城市才会成立呢？一直忍不住想那栋房子值几钱…
在上海取景的电影很多，但全篇台词上海话，又把上海话里的口语运用到位且换作其他方言则没办法发挥到极致的电影就不多见了，（虽然字幕翻译并没有办法完全展现出部分用词的幽默精髓），尽管没有地域限制，但本土观众多多少少占点优势。
其实，只要是成熟的人的爱情，都有动人的力量，不分老年人，中年人还是年轻人。
很喜欢！！ 可是现实中哪有三个这么极品的女人都喜欢徐峥这样的中年男人？？
2.5 / 抓住了一些人物的游离时刻。不过整体的结构还是有些粗糙，基本是在几个高密度戏剧化场景中间穿插直给的信息。前半段编织得还算细，后面就轰隆隆开始拉扯剧情到结尾了。所以，作为一部讲述“神话”、赞美虚构的电影，显然极度缺乏一种对叙事层次的自觉。当然，最受不了的还是这种“生活”是个筐啥都往里装的“释然”姿态（以至于复杂点的人物心理还真没有）。相比之下《爱很美味》确实是不悬浮且有叙事推进的……
