Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) and his college roommate Manolo play a campus-wide Gotcha! game where they hunt their assigned targets with paintball guns. They go on a school sponsored European trip. Jonathan meets Czech woman Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino) who only likes virgins. She talks him into taking a detour to Berlin and even going over to East Berlin. She is transporting a package back over to the West. She gets taken and he escapes from Soviet agents.
I don't like Anthony Edwards' character. It's not as bad as hate but I find him annoying. I totally get why the girls avoid him. He's not funny, too needy and pathetic. There is a way to play the hot cute nerd. This is not it. He should be shy and scared to approach girls. It would also help if the character is younger. He's played for jokes like his conversation with the waiter but it's fingernails on the chalkboard for me. Rosario is even worst. Linda Fiorentino is a great femme fatale as always. He's a little too dumb to live but Fiorentino can make a guy that dumb. The story is outlandish. I'm willing to accept the movie but I don't like the guy.
