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.
私心的年度华语最佳。我从看到大家一起聊索菲亚罗兰开始就泪流不止，没道理的那种，在单身又无儿无女的中年男人面前，爱情的神话一半在现实、一半在想象，一半在天上、一半在地下，一半在回头望，一半在朋友圈。
方言是一项挑战，运镜有时候让让眼睛不适，剧本里，老乌最有意思，好几场聚会亚历山大强行加入，心想他没自己事情的？挺尬的，算国产里不同印象了
其实说有多好，并没有那么好，但它带来的那种轻松流畅同时平淡又幽默的感觉在国产电影里是如此稀缺以至于很难讲不好。上海的生活真的很特别，即使拍得如此纽约布鲁克林也毫不违和，但最终的生活的真谛还是上海的。中年女性有这样多样的设定也很难得，还是女导演行啊！就是能不能找个稍微帅点的男的演这种trophy式上海爷叔，比如宁理，徐峥去修鞋（不是
很舒服很慵懒，如果不是费里尼《爱情神话》浪漫的彩蛋，我更喜欢叫《友情神话》，我也希望多年后有一群挚友可以喝酒聚餐，最好的朋友为我，亦或是我为他策展，我或他的名字大大的放在那里，希望他走的比我早，我可以把共友聚一起给他扫墓，办追悼会，一起看他最想看的电影。
1、觉得导演名字很熟，问了知情人，才知道她就是几年前卖电子烟的北电女生，当年以此为引子写过一篇爆款公号文。2、此片公映，邵导也算咸鱼翻身了，发现其豆瓣页面的主照片都换了，形象焕然一新。3、邵是张老师的学生，张老师发了一条动态，遭到群殴，甚至有人身攻击。记得某年在某影院，见到张老师，张老师说影院里放的这些片都是啥玩意啊（大意）。张老师对院线片的“敌意”，可能是有“鄙”无类的。4、费里尼，《爱情神话》，索菲亚•罗兰，我全都理解为致敬与迷影吧，当然，也是调侃和解构，一如“变态”与“可爱”同义。5、上海话的爱与撩，城市的市井与韵味，不那么低级的喜感与闹剧，配乐的美妙与疏离，以及，一颗装腔作势的文艺的心，都是大体妥的，算是近年爱情片这个类型中四平八稳的奇葩。
马伊琍吴越倪虹洁的组合太棒了。你只会关注她们的演技。不会去盯着她们的年龄长相胡思乱想。
太喜欢了，看片名以为是爱情片，结果竟是女性群像，完全反套路，无雌竞，中年人的关系被拍得又嗲又灵。
可能真真切切在上海生活过的人代入感会很强，虽然他是小洋楼里的上海，但里面表现的上海男人，上海女人，上海的下午茶，上海的梧桐树，特别是藏在方言里那个性的劲，真的非常灵。剧本结构非常扎实，音乐和本体特性的使用很有伍迪艾伦的感觉。就像每个走在上海街道的夜晚，散步，小酒..
像是看了一部异域片 对于蓬头垢面窸窸窣窣在电影院盘腿吃奥尔良全鸡的大粗大糙人来说 对这般程度的精致生活老传统的讲究追求 到底是怎么一种感受 实在是很难想象 就是那种很amazed的感叹但又感觉遥远的懵 为什么上海人老师们能这么认真密实地生活 (虽然知道经过影视剧夸张 (但我真的感觉一对比自己心更如寸草不生的荒漠
元素多样且不干尬 自我感觉还蛮伍迪艾伦的 所谓爱情神话 就比如说 一切气氛都恰到好处 在这一刻我感觉到很安心 所以我想在此时说爱你 于是爱情就展开了... 不过电影只说了开头没有说结尾 结尾被伍迪艾伦说了 “当爱情结束时你就会告诉自己 那一切不过是回忆....” 如果对你来说爱情是神话，那么分离也是
「灵」这个高频台词太适合这部电影了。大陆喜剧作品中难得一见的灵，都市中年人的真心假意，在上海话密密的节奏里，在一生一次的爱情神话里，轻轻巧巧地落地。
片子有很多惊喜~真是太喜欢那几场圆桌上的文戏了，人物性格淋漓尽致，演员们飙戏酣畅淋漓~配乐也超好，不仅好听、多样，而且歌词真的都蛮戳人~上海话也很出彩，不仅不会突兀，而且觉得浑然天成，这个故事就该发生在上海，也只能发生在上海~最后台词真的有很多很经典，“有钱有闲，老公失踪”，“离婚局”，“我不过是犯了男人都会犯得错误”，“没有值不值得只有欢不欢喜”，被戳中的一些瞬间真的恍然觉得，老了，但值得~
李小姐的妈、老白的妈，活脱脱就是现实里我娘的“拷贝不走样”。别古，这电影啊，实际拍的是土生土长魔都上只角中年过日子的状态。什么时候也能拍拍下只角的也行啊~~~
真的好“新”，每次看到那些国产悬浮片，再去看看同时间国外讲述都市生活的叙事，都会想如果不悬浮的话，那究竟到底应该如何去表述我们当下的生活呢，这部电影给出了一种答案，虽然明显法租界的独栋洋房、外滩18号，离普通打工人的生活也有点遥远，但是你会相信确实有这样的人生活在这片土地上。
这部电影展示的上海，不是大家想象中的十里洋场、东方巴黎、上海滩，而是真实的、当代的、细腻到生活中的上海。再也不用听一帮北方人、香港人、台湾人硬凹着上海话，讲着想象中的故事了。
“你真变态”（划掉）——→“你真可爱”
漂浮感，精致感，单薄感。太多个人的喜好穿插其中，边角的细节太多，女性的形象依旧觉得模糊。
全程风味沪语已值四星。其余那有惊无险、偶有波澜的法租界生活，必须要在武康路置业后才能略略咂摸一二了吧，当然抖点小机灵，“celebrate”一下新女权也不是什么坏事，总体在中国电影市场上也算一股清流了。
下学期的《艺术电影赏析》就从这部电影谈起，原本想谈《南方车站的聚会》来着
整部影片的氛围非常轻松幽默，每个人物都有独立的性格特点。老白的前妻蓓蓓，带着女儿独自生活的李小姐，性格洒脱的格洛瑞亚，三个女人一台戏，还真别说，这还真的是一台挺好看的大戏。
