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.
有self-reflexivity有meta，有索菲娅·罗兰还有费里尼。多好呀！上海话都讲得舒适，浅浅的城市性一点也不虚浮地分散在影片的方方面面。又真实；还有什么能比男男女女围坐看《爱情神话》看到昏昏欲睡更加现实主义呢？——马伊琍妈妈的沪语碎嘴，坏掉的灯泡、隔夜的红烧肉和弄堂楼上狭小的厨房，或者因为画眼线被爸爸嫌“娘娘腔”、相亲时假装自己是gay的黄明昊，或Bund Art Museum？不接地气地接地气，并且足够动人，我想这是导演的本事；又是德西卡又是费里尼的，你看连书袋都掉得这样灵光。
一直在想英文片名B for Busy怎么翻译，后来恍然大悟，这是中英杂糅的一个表述，也就是电影中老白的两个外号——白（B）辛苦/不（B）辛苦，也表达了影片探讨的爱情本质的一种答案。
生硬直白的不像pixar，转折来的尴尬且突如其来，所有的角色都是围绕主角成长的工具人，把《包宝宝》的故事无意义延长，就挺没劲的
虽然全片都在说方言，但是剧情与套路却像是我看的那些欧洲电影。倪虹洁姐姐实在太好看了，我也想成为她那样有钱有闲的成熟女人。总的来说，是惊喜之作~
影片全程飙上海话，徐峥说「你就把它当成伍迪艾伦的电影来看就行了」……表面是说看配音不误，也透露了风格参照系：城市、爱情、话痨、俏皮、知识分子气……确实有点伍迪艾伦电影的意思，还是导演处女作，挺难的。
原来是文艺片，台词比电视剧还密，英语听着都比上海话好懂。非要说点上海特色，除了方言还有老外和小资。我以为是女本位群像，结果是由有钱有闲的“老实”男人来串起。如果不是徐峥主演，真的不会看。对中年人，特别是中年男人的感情生活（性生活，加前妻和老乌总共四个一夜情，都是女的主导）完全不感兴趣，没意思，有点浪费时间。爱做饭，带娃，脾气好，几套房，性能力强的文艺中年男，搭配三个强势漂亮的女人，最后合家欢喜，这文艺片假得比商业片还商业。
其实说有多好，并没有那么好，但它带来的那种轻松流畅同时平淡又幽默的感觉在国产电影里是如此稀缺以至于很难讲不好。上海的生活真的很特别，即使拍得如此纽约布鲁克林也毫不违和，但最终的生活的真谛还是上海的。中年女性有这样多样的设定也很难得，还是女导演行啊！就是能不能找个稍微帅点的男的演这种trophy式上海爷叔，比如宁理，徐峥去修鞋（不是
中年人的浪漫～一切都是那么精致 最喜老乌在餐桌前谈论艳遇的那一段 我信了
道理我都懂，可是为什么她妈妈变的小熊猫那～～～～～～么大啊
前半比后半好。。。后半像写不下去了想潦草匆匆收尾，但前半是真不错。
本来就有预期它好看，看完之后还是觉得好看！
非常好看，上海的那个小资味儿拍得惟妙惟肖。修鞋的大爷坐在摊位后的小凳上一边磨咖啡豆一边教白老师：every woman needs a pair of Jimmy choo in her lifetime，太洋气了。另外，里面有一句台词是：不像有的电影，明明是翻拍的，宣传的时候又不提。哈哈哈哈，你就指名道姓得骂吧！
真·熊孩子+怪兽家长。不愧是皮克斯，毛茸茸可爱到爆炸，换了我也不要封印这么萌的一面~亚裔的教育方式产生很多虎妈，想要做到父母眼中完美的乖孩子，还是要做真实的自己？青春期的叛逆和成长的阵痛，灰常形象的用红熊猫来体现，我们要学会和自己最不堪最愤怒的情绪共存并能控制它继续崩坏的蔓延。其实不管是哪一面，都是自己的一部分，接受不完美的自己，也请家人包容这样的自己，这些都是我们成长路上必经之路，动画呈现的更戏剧化些，所以是个适合和父母一起观影的动画。
还是一贯的好莱坞式中国故事，套用一个古代离奇传说设定，表现现代与传统价值观的冲突，家庭代际之间的矛盾与和解，又加上了青春期的自我找寻。故事本质还是停留在很浅层的东西，说实话，很难共情。
填补了华语电影多处的空白：地域/方言（南方&吴语）电影，城市中年爱情，不俗套的台词片，有几处恍惚看到了侯麦，估计还是太久没看到灵的华语电影了
很喜欢，尽管是个神话。影片没头——爱情开始，没尾——强行写死；中间倒是一场精彩，真是把上海人和现代化爱情玩明白了。除了那些浓郁的小资情调，第一段餐桌戏真棒。对我来说，缺点是过于段落化，不够流畅，时间线一掐就是黑幕；配乐很好听，但是总感觉出戏。
5.缺点：插曲有点多，虽然好听，用的不是特别自然，尤其后半部分有点密集，为了用歌而用歌
电影很诙谐也很现实地提醒我们，人间烟火气是有门槛的，它要么是一技之长，要么是履历和财富，要么是身份层面的国际化，要么就是姿色本身。总之有了这些，人才能心安理得地约暧昧对象喝咖啡，嗑着瓜子看费里尼，还把穿坏的Jimmy Choo当成淘宝货。在物质生活不断发展，精神文明却愈发模糊和难以定义的今天，片中的上海用她特有的文化自信给我们指了一条切实的明路。
还行，轻松简单的故事。有些地方不太真，有些地方也不假。
难得看到国产片的对话这么机灵。这东一棒槌西一锄头的，愣是把生活凿开了呐。
