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.
真挚的情感是没办法表演出来的。贾玲是在掏心掏肺的展示，演不出来这个效果的。反转设计很巧妙，沈腾乔杉是点睛之笔。
最后10分钟这劲儿可真大，周围都是擦眼泪的；小段落节奏有一点点问题，几乎可忽略不计；沈腾的表演克制了许多，刚刚好；太有诚意了，纪念自己的母亲、新人导演处女作，我不听我要给满分
太真挚了，溢出屏幕的爱和温柔，看完好心疼贾玲…值得称赞的除了真诚，还有里面的每个女性都散发着个人魅力，它不来自外表，而是由内而外的光辉，女导演拍女性果然不一样。第一次在电影院听到女孩子哇地一声哭出来，还说真的忍不住了…带妈妈一起去看的，妈妈也哭，可能是想外婆了吧。如果真的能穿越，就算世界上会不再有我，也希望妈妈和外婆能过上更好更快乐的人生，毕竟她们一直跟我说的也是：你健康快乐就好。😭她们真的太好了，她们值得拥有更好。
看完了很委屈，知道了自己严重的mami issue咋来的了，嘤。
结尾反转太好哭了 感情过分真挚 没法客观评价
一开始还以为是韩国小说改编，误会这部电影了。 很成熟很稳得片子，从英子伸手去接我的宝儿开始一路哭到结束，讲了一个好故事，希望贾玲可以弥补一份遗憾，妈妈一定为她骄傲。
亲情是永远的主题，又真又切。感谢贾玲吧，2021如此开心的看了一部喜剧。
真的很适合中年人用来自我安慰。
“她不是因为想当导演拍了这部电影，而是因为想拍这部给妈妈的电影才当导演。”
至于你妈生的是不是你会不会更幸福的讨论，你妈的一生不局限于结婚生子才是最幸福的哈，别再纠结了，人都不是自己被选择生下来的，自寻烦恼恶心人，口区
A:不完美
押宝，今年口碑第一可能是这部，合家欢电影，又哭又笑，老少皆宜。（也可能是上午被唐探的拉胯气到吐血之后忽然看到这部觉得很惊喜），总之我觉得这是一部真诚的作品。但是陈赫这个角色确实不知道在干嘛…
影片看着看着以为是上天给女儿一次机会，弥补逝去的时光，让那个时空的母亲高兴一回，结果最后居然反转，原来一直是母亲在注视着女儿......当时鸡皮疙瘩全起来了，非常震撼。另外，母女和解的内核，总能让人轻易流泪。
不能说多好笑吧 沈叔叔和陈赤赤俩人是真油腻 简单的商业片 没什么期待 故事虽然有不合理的地方但相对完整 已属国内大荧幕华语片的难得 真的求各位导演大大把故事讲清楚吧 不要炫技了🙏
贾玲原来也是工人子弟啊……这个大概是拍给我们这些厂弟厂妹的童年回忆吧！太好哭了。
中国电影里的孝开始卷起来了~
用能留下最长久的形式追忆纪念最爱的人
作为电影来说是稚嫩且成色不佳，但作为文化现象来说情真意切并且非常完整。一锤定音掷地有声的处女作往往是用一个甚至几个人的前半生打磨出来的，在观影后了解了贾玲的生平以及一些幕后访谈，更是佐证了这点。
所以这就是为什么她看着她眼里总是有泪光一样，因为她认出她来了。
2点场的电影，人都坐满了，大家一起笑，氛围很好。最后差点忍不住哭，不太好意思在熟人面前哭来着。大年初一，牛年大吉，希望家人健健康康，平平安安。
