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.
PTA不当大师要当爱情守门人，这心态就很牛批
I love it好久没看到这么流畅的故事，镜头的调度好美很有语言感，是可以看画面就能知道导演要表达的内容，特别棒。我又好讨厌这部戏的故事，它是这样的令人讨厌的真实和简单，简单的快乐，简单的生活如婊子的糟糕，我恨透了这样的内容，又好喜欢这部戏让我这么愉快的投入。
看PTA拍这种轻巧的爱情片其实有焉用牛刀的感觉，映后交流他也表示这是一部对他来讲“比较容易”的作品（正在准备一个“更难”的作品），不过他把很私人的怀旧向拍成了可能是他最大众的一部电影也还是蛮神奇的。调性和PDL差不多，但情绪更重一些，如果身在圣费南多谷可能会感受更多（但我体感南加人民也很投入）。男主太像他爹了，女主角的设置很值得玩味，Sean Penn和B Cooper的cameo很吸睛。最后必须说，PTA真的太爱拍“在汹涌人潮中找到你”的段落了，但是不论是PDL海报的那一幕，还是裁缝中的“众里寻她”，以及本片中一段男主角奔向倒地女主的戏，都很美。
我想多了吗，政治元素好多，，，歌还是很好听
PTA最轻盈的作品，依旧充斥着奇怪和迷人的味道
奥斯卡。看不太懂，女主作为二十多岁的成年人竟然和一个15岁的青少年在一起了，虽然长得不像未成年人。不过影片呈现的美国七十年代的时代背景，和影片的运镜等设计我还是挺喜欢的。还有封面的甘草披萨标题，颜色和字体的复古搭配有种莫名的吸引力。。。刚知道片名甘草披萨是加州一家黑胶唱片的名称，用来比喻怀旧的事物，还挺贴合。
看到半夜 打车送我回家 第二天上班睡眠困乏但是一直开心
友谊和爱情在这部片不断切换着，以为导演在弄什么关子。看完之后才后知后觉，这不就是青春爱情故事吗？双方在互相吃醋，斗气，最后因为某件事才觉得对方的好。只不过在PTA导演的镜头和美国6，70年代的风格滤镜下，才遮掩住这俗套的爱情故事吧。
虽然都不是什么好看的主角，但是年龄和年代拉开的距离就是难以逾越令人揪心，结尾短暂舒心了一下，风暴很快就来。还是乱中有序，现在还能拍出共情不矫情的爱情很难得了，8分。
这故事一不普通，二不动人。奔跑很浪漫，但我只觉得女主穿高跟鞋奔跑很痛。
最喜欢倒车戏和奔跑的段落。
“不可能事事都顺你心意啊”
★★★☆ 因為他是Paul Thomas Anderson，所以對他只是拍了一個互相反復拉扯的愛情故事有些失望，少了他獨此一家的危險又迷人的毀滅氣質，或許這是已經步入50歲的叛逆期吧，不過還好，還是已然可以認出是他，把針藏進了棉花糖裡，沒有對70年代洛杉磯盲目加上回憶濾鏡，對破碎與迷茫並為粉飾。好久沒看Sean Penn的作品了，差點忘了他曾經是我最愛的演員，久別重逢，他依然迷人。
PTA的阳灿，我还蛮喜欢。PTA已经证明过自己太多次了，拍自己想拍的东西也很好。人物的羁绊和拉扯拍得多好啊，再看看自己拍的简直是小儿科狗屎嘛。评论里说男凝和种族歧视的人麻烦去死一死，这个世界上的人越来越蛮戾和无知了。
3.5
3.5，PTA的电影总是独树一帜的，他总能用在小清新和变态之间存在的眩晕感迷惑观众，难得可贵的格局如此小的爱情故事居然在颁奖季收获这么多的提名，虽然个人不是很喜欢，但确实是去年值得一看的美国电影。

不停地想起 punch drunk love 感觉这就是teenage版，还是预告片好看吧，真的失望极了，还是在 apple tv 花6刀租的（但也可能是当下的心情不适合看这种小情小调
技术上固然没得说 但故事上…well…我真的不懂这段关系
izzy不就是pp嘛！！好喜欢izzy喔！我的pinkie💞💞💞（除此以外别的小马都不如G4…
