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.
2022年开年第一部看得超级开心的电影！要N刷
It’s 2021 and I really don’t need to see a badly told story with boring characters, filled with racism/sexism jokes. I don’t give a fuck about anything that happens in this film. The romance is so cheap. The not-coming-anywhere-coming-of-age story is so cheap. Seriously???
Racist joke is not cool！就很一般很一般，跟PTA自己的片子比起来都算是比较平庸的，缺少了新意，片子里真的有好多直男癌的段落和令人讨厌的人物。前半段还不错，沿着青春纯爱的套路前进，可可爱爱，笑点也很多。但是后半段库珀出来之后完全垮掉了，男女主开始做一些不合逻辑、牵强的事情，片子也开始变得很干，直到最后的结尾强行大团圆，让人皱眉。唯一让人眼前一亮的就是女主了，演的真的不错。
American Graffiti or younger Punch-Drunk Love.PTA一如既往著迷那種不對稱性／錯位的兩人組人物關係。親密的流動的卻又互相折磨的情感糾纏。以『監護』為核心構建的角力。把握住了年輕人的微妙情感，不僅是70's世代，也是當代的。攝影機的運動真美妙！喜歡兩個人躺在水床上的那場戲的克制，「愛是想要觸碰卻又收回的手」
凭PTA找一个比女主看着还老的男的演一个比她小十岁的处男，就忍不住想加分。和浪漫情愫、智识差异、性别矛盾均无关，不过像磁铁一样，在转念之间折返于吸引与互斥。一些怪鸡人物像巨大的泡沫漂浮于空中，与彼时躁动的年代共振，只为了迎接某一刻嘉年华般的相遇。招牌调度不再令人惊叹，如旋转木马般产生慢性晕眩，多么烂漫而谦卑的姿态。
画面精美 剧情琼瑶 互相折磨 可能这就是爱 爱上酷酷老女人
我甚至不知道这个片到底的算不算爱情，毕竟25岁的女孩和15岁的男孩真的相差太大，心境也不太一样，很多争吵点都让我觉得男方的想法十分单纯天真，但是同样也让我觉得他是比较尊重女主的。但除此之外，好像也没有什么特别的，感觉是男方的幻想故事罢了……
真的是家庭作坊式电影，PTA玩得很开心。（但是我不care，还有为什么会有这么多生硬的跑步桥段
她从好莱坞老流氓的摩托车上跌下，他飞奔，穿过火场和名利场，穿过喧嚷的人群，穿过政治闹剧和石油危机，带她回到可以改变世界的水床，昏黄路灯照着她乳房的弧度，照着她侧颈上的脉搏。真浪漫啊。
我对一男一女永远含情脉脉但又永远在阴差阳错中彼此误会曲折满满的故事抱有伤感美学的执念，但你以为是个凝重纯爱但它真的是个“快乐存货”，看着主角傻逼逼兮兮做各种不着调的事情，可以改名叫《向左奔向右奔》，二主角在卖水床和演戏之间反复横跳，仿佛是为了说明垮掉的一代干啥啥不成。而女主角每次的调转枪头都是因为现役男暧昧对象不靠谱，所以最后那句“我爱你”让人感觉不舒适。但是影片中出现的形形色色以自我为中心的中年油腻伪君子着实映衬出具备女性温柔气质的少年的可贵之处。
太欢乐了哈哈哈哈，给意大利人当翻译那段简直一绝！！！
玩票。味道不错，但故事故意弄得太散了。不喜欢。小霍夫曼加油吧。
采访中说比起年代更多是因为人物而拍，但确实更多被70s vibe打动了，实名人物、具体事件，PTA的once upon a time in LA。从以唱片连锁店名做片名到配乐选曲以及HAIM（而且 Alana 怎么这么会演？？）、Tom Waits 出演就奠定了基调，还有出色的摄影和调色，夏天的味道。私恋失调的光晕再次袭来，霍夫曼的儿子也和霍夫曼一样干了电信销售（电爱）的活儿… 就 feel the vibe 吧 （RioLiv的翻译版本很棒）
用话剧式的表演风格演绎了一出荒诞的喜剧，虽有亮点，但总体笑果一般。马丽一如既往的稳定，魏翔首次担纲男主角，看得出他的卖力，一直都觉得魏翔是个被低估的演员，而这次主咖证明了他的优秀，期待看到他更多作品。
真是要在夏天夜空下看的电影，虽然标签是复古温情片，但复古做到如此不动声色和彻底是导演掌控能力的证明，方方面面都在线！在暖色中也有一些暗潮-政治/同性恋/种族/石油危机等等，幸好导演还是保持了一个让大家feel good的心。对于70年代LA这个时空太特指也导致豆瓣分数不高，毕竟这是更适合西方文艺大叔爽的片子。
哈哈哈哈哈非常好笑！！！-I'm cooler than you. Don't forget it. -I don't need you to tell me whether I'm cool or not, old lady.
PTA的美国70年代社会风情秀，包裹在高中男生和社会青年年龄差距达到10岁的姐弟恋之中的，是对那个光怪陆离的时代的怀旧恋曲，然而生于70年的PTA坚持作者电影的笔调，用十分私人的触感描摹那个时代却并非那么有观赏性，除了少男追女青年这条核心线之外，点缀女孩视角中美国社会中各式男性的不友好，但故事缓慢、散淡，缺乏抓人的情节，还开着充满了刻板印象，又不那么好笑的族裔玩笑，结尾的团圆或许是女孩对社会心灰意冷的回眸，也可能只是圆了观众心愿的谎言。
春节档唯一的喜剧片
（可能是，教科书级别烂俗爱情电影再添一员力将？
