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.
除了七零八碎的时间线外都很精彩。以及，所谓Male ego不过只是爱你不如爱自己。
索金的台本功底一如既往的强大，甚至太强大，以至于有些地方本人不得不暂停或者回放以便确保能keep up with him。
就电影而言真的又烂又长，妮可基德曼确实把女人的歇斯底里与神经质都拍出来了，问题是真的很难看
做为一个只耳闻过《I Love Lucy》的观众，这部传记片更像一个用来打发时间的八卦。
有top hat和swing time海报，又一部离婚，不由想起塔米菲的眼睛
B-. 剧本打磨得锃光瓦亮以至于变成塑料质感。索金照例用高密度台词和全方位的social agenda，将文本压迫至承受的极限，殊不知结尾那一秒漏拍的失神，才是密不透风中终于得以呼吸的动人瞬间。
前面摸不清它想表达啥，最后口红印才恍然大悟——哦这种女人都会被出轨，嫖娼犯存在的唯一原因就是有人孜孜不倦地去嫖娼，和女人没有半毛钱关系。什么示弱什么装大度，我可去你的吧
艾伦·索金的人物都精明干练，感觉智商不够不配活在他的世界里哈哈哈。
首先索金的剧本依然是让人沉迷 大段对白丝毫不会感到无聊 其次作为VEEP+AD双粉 看到托尼海尔+阿莉娅基本就想无原则加两星先 但是剧本结构越复杂 索金导演上的短板就越明显 上一部芝加哥七君子好歹还是线性叙事看着没那么突兀 到了这部就非常明显地感觉到了无镜头语言表达 剪辑稀碎 转场生硬
看了20分钟吧，既没有认出来妮可基德曼，同时也觉得这次艾伦索金的台词一般，可能好戏在后面。#20220220
是不是化妆问题，有时候妮可很像妮可有时候就看不出来。整个故事很老气。
索金对话功力还在，但是形式太太太忠于自己风格了，已经到了高度可预测程度。最后高潮这场戏也没有说服力。还是不要当导演害人害己了
讲故事的顺序太乱了，两位主演挺好。妮可演原型人物的时候甚至比她本人在戏外女神的样子还要有魅力
你说她爱家吧，情节都是她们两公婆在为事业奋斗。你说她时间跨度不大吧，这导演还乱序回溯。总之就是乱七八糟
演员演的都很好，但这个形式有点拖垮。Nicole戏中戏里的鸭子音是根据原型来的吗？还是特定年代的演戏样本，可太难受了
just a call girl
所以说，抬头不见低头见，如果夫妻俩白天晚上都在一起，并不是好事。
片子来了一个尴尬的高潮 又来了一个奇怪的反高潮……就这样吧
说难听点，没看完就有一种“这种片子根本没必要拍出来”的感觉，而且try too hard to be funny。感觉片子想讲三件事情，然后闪回来闪回去一件都没讲好，再穿插进那个年代好莱坞保守和性别歧视，就更是没重点了。针妮更是和巴登一点化学反应都没有，而且针妮真的要少打点针了，脸都完全动不了了。
绝对是Nicole Kidman演绎生涯中最佳表演。不是很明白为何amazon一直不让放出评价，到目前都没解禁，也不能打分，但是这部电影非常精彩，不仅生动刻画了旧时代好莱坞的刻板、守旧、种族和性别歧视，也鲜活地讲述了Lucille Ball作为一个喜剧女演员当年遭遇的事业和婚姻上的不公待遇。
