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.
没去什么电影节就直接上映挺可惜的，但是想想，这片子也没法翻译啊。某些批评用现实主义要求这么个“洋气”的片子，不是蠢就是坏吧。喜剧做得不错，各种层面也确实讨喜，话虽然实在太密（是在找伍迪艾伦吗？），不过细节实在是用足了（以微信界面为最了），单场戏其实论写论表演得都挺不错的。不过呢，连起来看就各种拧巴了。我猜这也是短视频时代的电影代表吧。片子核心大梗是不成立的，因为费里尼的《爱情神话》片名可从来不是Myth of Love啊（所以中间那个投影看得到底是什么鬼？）。最后，这片子声音是怎么回事儿？没做完？
这可能关系到上海中产阶级的小资风貌，更多的其实关乎到在题材范畴日渐狭小的当下日渐膨胀的“元电影”式作者导向。我已经记不清今年看过多少部开口就是费里尼闭口就是塔可夫斯基的国产电影了。
观看的时候，笑的神经的确有被调动，也呈现了近几年华语电影里松弛有加的人物形象，已算是相当奢侈的创作。但这种趣味性和地域的关系有多大，是存疑的。就像国际学校、混血儿、懂得Jimmy Choo的小皮匠……这些符号在多大程度上构成上海的特质，也是需要被讨论的。法租界成为一个容器，承载人们对城市的想象，在电影框架内构成一个过于简化却行之有效的逻辑。
除了听徐峥儿子说话浑身不适之外，其他都还挺好。
很明显是制片人主导的影片，不这样码盘的话真的出不来。段子电影，没有属于电影的时刻，画廊里那场戏，算是舞台剧调度。情节点、亮点都零零碎碎，本身故事过于简单，强行对调男女，拼命讨好女性，甚至不比爱情呼叫转移和非诚勿扰有韵味和深度，是拿上海话的幽默做的补充。结尾打破第四堵墙的方式挺尴尬，这还是舞台剧式的，不是电影的方式。好的地方是表演上基本都找得到真实生活的支点，哪怕是年轻演员，做到了取用其特点，相当于画画用对了颜色，养眼就好，技法就不谈了。说周野芒倪虹洁演技好，还是在于角色戏剧张力足，便于施展，从这里也更能看得出用对了人的重要性。整体来说，可能是我对它期待太高，近期最想走进影院看的片，看完又要被劝退一阵。
我一直觉得吃饭戏能拍对，一部作品就不会差到哪里去。这几场吃饭聊天的部分，修罗场十足，信息量巨大，又火花四溅，真的特别好看。整部电影不再是钢筋水泥味，一股子人间烟火气，真好。
片中这种生活状态的上海人当然是存在的，这些人和大部分住在宝山、彭浦的上海话使用人口之间的差异度，自然远大于他们和租住在隔壁，听不懂上海话，不吃香油鳝糊但热衷轻食法餐之间文艺女青年之间的差异度，本片的导演自然属于后者，构建出来的上海，也只存在于华山路-延安路包裹着的摩纳哥大小区域。当然，在泥沙俱下的今日，能够用上海话作为影片对白本身，已经能够让交关上海中老年人惊讶和感动，以至于对自家生活与片中人物之间的鸿沟，也轻描淡写的视若无睹了
夹在一堆上海中年大妈里观影，你别说氛围还真的好哈哈哈哈哈哈哈!好欢乐!
第一印象是上海话的伍迪艾伦，但再一想想，内核其实是萨姆门德斯。
大部分人都在世俗里白活了一辈子，美其名曰热爱生活，而上海人对这种空虚的人生充满自信，让那些外地人羡慕不已。
未来也许自己也会在饭桌上给后辈讲述自己的"爱情神话"，再掺点虚构，但谁会在意故事的真假呢？
本年度华语最佳。
全程咧嘴观毕，国产生活流也终于出了一部可媲美伍迪艾伦的话痨片。沪语太嗲了，倪虹洁太灵了，中年人的爱情太真实可爱了，徐峥永远都适合这种善良又怂包的角色。北方电影学院毕业卖过电子烟，众人看费里尼抹手霜吃小吃，导演对费神和自己开涮毫不客气，但俏皮又高级。
两男三女的四段一夜情，都在诉说着不同的故事，在我看来，也许老乌和索菲亚的那段才是真正的神话吧。金句频出的文艺片，不错。
可爱，有爱的电影，特别适合我这种跟片子几个主角一样，大龄、离异且正在努力恋爱、偶尔帮着别人看孩子的中年观众[捂脸][捂脸][捂脸]
刻画入木三分 角色全都立起来了…荒谬中的浪漫 真香
有点点上海版小伍迪艾伦的味道，不同的是虽然剧情的推进是通过徐峥饰演的男性角色的，但影片是充满女性视角的，整体自然流畅又舒服。片子里有很多“冒犯”的、“造反”的、内涵社会现象和文艺圈现状的台词，也难怪这片口碑爆的时候有老导演看不惯看不起喷本片导演。我想“女人一辈子不造一次反是不完整的”也是导演本人的态度。
✪94//第二遍看时连最初没留下美好第一印象的开场都看着顺眼，开篇后来的每段戏都有我入迷的节奏（无论表演或影像内容编排），场景灵了、机位和运镜灵了、对白也灵了，每当两个人说上话时似乎都要有好神奇的事发生：寻常生活的小麻烦在自然的谈天里渐渐走向水到渠成，偶尔冒出的矛盾慢慢已经看来不是什么大事。太喜欢角色之间好自在、几乎一根刺都不带、带刺也不扎人的交流。
陪爹妈看的，希望爹认清自己（划掉）。也不是看得不舒服，但它的底色摆在这里：彻底背离真实的文本，完成的、完全的、完满的虚浮。没有真实的爱情（及其困境）、神话（及其真实）和死。一部彻底的喜剧，于是有足够的观看理由，因为我们想（？）生活在其中。但确实完成度挺高的，以至于我们觉得老乌的最后和他和索菲亚·劳伦故事一样是无所谓真假的——可是，如果是这样，那么白老师为什么要哭呢？
我觉得是今年最佳。多年以后，我想我也会津津有味地谈起看这部电影时的激动。是观影史中值得夹上书签的精彩一页。
