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.
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。
看了让人心情巨好的一部“爱情神话”。像冬天里的一锅热汤饭。导演用生活流素描笔法展现了新上海带点雅致和讲究的烟火气，上海的市井生活是有其独特生态的，尤其是新时代背景下的上海风貌，人们的说话方式、生活习惯跟我们印象中老上海石库门里的那种市井生活大不相同。那个一直爱吹牛的老乌、昨夜还坐在一起喝酒聊天的老乌，说没就没了，荒唐吗？可这就是中年人会遇到的命题啊，面对突如其来的死亡、变故、离别。这不是简单的致敬，这是将费里尼的精神融入电影了。给平凡的生活加点浪漫的佐料，有什么错呢？
太喜欢了！独属于新派的话语属性和旧时代的烟火气缔造了这些横冲直撞却又时刻携带着小心翼翼的形象。你可以不相信开口闭口都是Jimmy Choo和英文名言的街头鞋匠，但你不得不信他围绕着这些所养成的浪漫体质。生活中哪来那么多“爱情神话”，可即使承认了它的虚伪，我们还是感到欢喜。迟暮的他还能回想起过去的喷泉之夜，银幕上的相识最终用死亡来祭奠，在回忆的容器载体中，这当然是一个无比罗曼蒂克的故事，因为它是编的。
我可太喜欢倪虹洁了，尤其是说上海话的倪虹洁，又魅又迷人
前面还有点意思，然而也有些刻意迎合当下网络受众对上海及上海人的刻板想象，配角都有点“表演”过度（都不太像真实生活中的人），剧情设计则太过依赖演员的自身气质和台词，有些地方与其说是电影，其实更像是小品、舞台剧或电视剧，到了后半部分气就全散了，节奏开始变得拖沓，好几次以为就要结束了，下个段落又无限絮叨下去……不知道后面为什么把“接孩子放学”这条线剪断了，原本以为会引发之后的剧情反转（如前夫忽然回来之类）或埋下什么伏笔，结果什么也没有，而把重要配角写死了更是败笔，音乐也用得有点滥了……不过，能在北京的大银幕上听到全程上海闲话还是满有意思额。另外，只有我觉得老乌很像《繁花》里面的陶陶吗？
有闲有钱的上海土著上演的城市生活，带着沪语方言外露的傲娇，有些像欧洲的爱情轻喜剧，弥漫浓厚的地方特色和小资情调，在有限的空间中人与人之间的关系是最大的戏码。只是感觉音乐的使用有过度之处，一些过渡可以更加轻巧些。这部片子还让我突然意识到的是，我所日常路过的上海的街巷不只是徒有精致的立面和闲适的氛围，隔着一定的距离，每天也正在发生着具体而可爱的故事。
喜欢拉拉杂杂进行无效对白的片子都请移步这里，学习有效对话。
好喜欢呀，朴素现实主义+伍迪·艾伦。生活哪里有神话，也不至于只是个笑话，认真活着的人都是可爱的。
3. 副食店取名红拂，这是导演曾经用过的网名的前两个字，里边人物毕业卖电子烟等情节也是导演自己的经历。
这是一部闯空门的电影，本身就有存在的价值。一星主要扣在音乐上，多，腻。看的时候一直在想两个问题。问题一，上海到底是谁的上海；问题二，老白到底是谁的老白。本片都没有回答，这是比较高明的。
这是个好剧本，但不适合电影，更适合话剧舞台，对白部分极为精彩，但除去对白之外故事推进就乏善了。接地气是因为一帮本土演员的自如，以及聪明地用了沪语和大众对魔都的想象，某种程度这跟郭敬明yy的纸醉金迷的上海也没太大差别。当然，这样的电影在我们还是太少了太少了，所以显得它特别可贵。
上海人聊天时会夹杂一两句普通话或者单词，有以下几种情况。1。正式严肃的谈话，比如老白给玛雅说猜女孩子年龄的道理那一段2.上海话比较难以表达的话，比如饭局上老乌说老白走清纯路线，蓓蓓说浪迹天涯3.专属名词或句子，比如从群众中来到群众中去，这是语录。有非吴语地区的人如果听到上海人这种说话方式，不必过于敏感，没有针对也没有豁胖，这是正常现象（格洛丽亚在KTV唱的那首歌好彪，期待来个完整版）
最后一镜的想法确实好，如此更衬出正片的夹生感，在难得玲珑清透的叙事和耍小聪明间反复横跳。视听也是太学生作业，仅有的几处亮点设计都失之悬浮。

7分。1. 氛围和节奏还行，但是故事有点散。2. 充分体现了上海人的小资情调，天价小洋房，老式自行车，咖啡店威士忌，绘画电影，跨国婚姻，但又絮絮叨叨鸡毛蒜皮得过且过。3. 主角如果没有这房子，估计这些女人们就都闪了，的确是个神话
还有看完电影之后终于明白为啥叫爱情神话了，原来是致敬。
还是觉得大可不必放那么多歌。放歌把每段以对话驱动的场景变成了独幕剧，场景之间的弄堂生活变成了幕间休息，像情景喜剧一集结束了开始放主题曲（这也是为什么看完大家都觉得这个本子可以拍成电视剧），但电影可以不那么 episodic，话痨电影不一定要通过这种方式给观众的感官放松，或者对城市声音的捕捉亦可以撑起那几段的听觉空间，歌也能有，但可以退居二线。影片整体好也好在坏也坏在它的「格局」相当狭小而暧昧，塑造了一些可爱的女性形象说出了一些伶牙俐齿的台词，但又因为她们的线索是个老白这样的男性，使得影片呈现的女权主义有那么一点《欲望都市》般难经推敲；在很多时刻你能感觉到它（可被原谅地）欲言又止，这大概就是华语喜剧。至于神话，那确实是没有的。
不知道为啥这部动画片评分这么高，皮克斯这几年的动画片都是为了讲道理而创作，虽然没有啥硬伤，不过剧情实在太公式化，让人看一半就知道结局。
作为上海景观挺好，作为爱情故事挺好，作为电影还是感觉缺一股劲，没能完全入戏，像最后看着爱情神话在吃散装零嘴。玛雅最好，配乐最差。
真的太精彩了
