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.
6.8。拍的寡淡了些。新人主角都没选好，hold不住梅艳芳这么精彩的人生。
7分-不单只是喜剧故事，墨西哥移民成为了这部改编电影的内核。底层工作的外乡人与好莱坞大明星之间产生感情本来就有些天荒夜谭，但是男主的演绎又让故事变得质朴，贴近现实。值得一看，满是积极味道的电影。

【Masterpiece】#84# 【粤语版】抱着重温梅姐金曲和回顾香港黄金时代的期待去看，觉得很不错很用心，特别是王丹妮的表演真的有“似是故人来”的感觉，呈现出的自然和洒脱令人惊喜，金像提名锁定一席。传记片难在人生片段的选择以及平衡粉丝的心路历程和普通观众对人物的猎奇心态，每个名人本职工作的背后其实有普通人都有的真性情甚至很负面性的东西在，这些是否影响观众对于这个人物的客观评价、对于影片拍摄的真正目的的揣测甚至对传记题材产生偏见和质疑。归根结底就是四个字，完整叙事，无论什么角度要尽可能还原事情的前因后果，同时要准确把握人物的内心活动，喜欢她是因为彼此的真情流露，而不是为了满足单方对于另一方更便利地窥探。（看完结尾的字幕和视频照片，久久不能平静，心里想的还是“她还这么年轻，怎么就走了”）
美女和野兽的奇怪组合，愚蠢的剧情设定，肤浅的跨阶层种族融合内涵，廉价的煽情，加起来就是豆瓣7.0+的配方。
导演剪辑版居然分了5集，挤牙膏似的。名人传记不容易拍成剧情片，还不如看纪录片。
那个小姑娘，有很努力在演，但是还是太嫩了，梅姐浑然天成的气场完全演不出来，经常会出戏，但是也还能忍。
Anita Mui forever. Leslie Cheung forever.

3星半。看故事简介时没料到会拍的这么好看，轻松流畅，小幽默处颇多，最难得的是影片行至后半部分，眼看就要套路无趣了，影片立即干净收尾，毫不拖沓，男主也演的很不错。虽然这故事现实完全不会发生，但架不住确实有趣，当成人童话看也是很好的，准备看法国原版了。再有，这又是一个超级适合国人、适合开心麻花团队翻拍的剧本，爆款预定，而且几乎无需改动，我都已经想到沈腾演这个男主会是什么样了。
不評價演技也不評價電影傳記節奏編排~~於我這種從小看港片聽港樂長大的人來說，藉著一些氛圍一些場景甚至一些港人演員的面孔和表情，我都可以自行腦補到位~~~這部電影至少香港精神的表達是準確的~~~前輩無條件提攜後輩，演藝圈大家庭氛圍式的萬眾一心~~ 8090年代的香港黃金時代~~~ 樂觀積極多元開放而寬容~~天才白痴夢~~那時候人人都有一種『以前如此，以後就必然如此嗎？』的勇敢反問的精神。每個人的臉上純真而堅定。
故事节奏很快，没有什么重点，但这就是重点——所有的人和事都不过是岁月之河里的匆匆过客。比起伟大，时间又算得了什么呢。

为什么我感觉自己在看《诺丁山》。但始终又无法进入某种惊艳和刺激，高潮的部分。
not precending
这片儿的宣传做得是真好，抖音天天给我哐哐推，看过的大佬们天天对着我嗷嗷哭。不信这个邪去看了。看完觉得如果有人被打动了，打动他的可能不是电影，而是梅艳芳这个人，这一整个时代。快歌不是唱兴奋，是唱反叛；慢歌不是唱伤心，而是唱唏嘘。
片名什么破翻译！这应该是近期我看过最好看的电影了吧！！吃着小龙虾喝着精酿白啤酒看着一部好好讲故事的电影最快乐的日子不过如此了吧！虽然套路都能猜到但是过渡的很丝滑毫不可以也不做虚假。不过又想起他，只是睡过又如何呢？正牌才能跟他一起旅行，一起生活，被他买礼物送，花他的工资，而我呢？就请我吃一碗小面吧。连事后的温存都不肯给我，我真可笑。
还不错，巧妙的运用了拉美裔和少数族裔的特点，且，结局不像诺丁山，成为神话，基本回归现实。
“她还是那个眼睛始终闪也耀 爱唱歌的小歌女”，香港的场景拍的很如梦似幻。
