I will admit, some people have 80's nostalgia on this movie, but it is PAINFULLY bad, particularly the ending. I mean, I can appreciate it on a different level as being a "bad movie" but this is a laughing-at situation, not a laughing with. If I had to categorize it, it would be right next to Red Dawn- a higher budget ham fisted Soviet flick.Things to look for: - Soviet spies manage to sneak up on them in an open field, dressed in menacing black outfits - But then shoot and miss, at about 30 paces - But then run after them waving around guns and shooting up the campus! - While the campus is oblivious. Somehow. - But then Jonathan shoots one from behind, and shouts "Gotcha!" - And likes this so much, he does it twice more, in two completely unnecessary scenes. Which would have made a funny running gag, if they had just had 10 guys chasing him instead of 4.Cringeworth at points, indeed. The suspension of disbelief in this movie is that films this bad simply cannot exist. But, by the end, even that is dispelled.

i was up late one night when i see an 80's movie coming on that i have not seen before ( i know it was 80's just by the music). i checked the synopsis on my cable box, it looked good, so i watched. i thought it was great! he may be a kid with rich parents that pay for everything for him, but thats OK. most parents are like that anyways, just not with as much money. of course, while "seeing the sites" on the all expenses paid vacation courtesy of his parents, he runs into the European girl of his dreams. now, he's a college guy who's whole testosterone lifestyle revolves around getting busy in bed... and he succeeds! who cares that he went to east Berlin to keep getting some, its a movie and half the adventure was him trying to get back across. by the end, it all comes back to the campus where the bad guys are now in "his neighborhood" and he cleans them up with a tranquilizer gun (which is pretty sick by the way... i mean, i would totally take one of those over a 9 mil..). anyways...this movie was made before i was born, but i think its just another great 80's "brat pack"-style movie that should go down with the best of them.

It's got action, it's got sex, it's got humor, and most of all, it's got a college kid who seems to be able to outsmart highly trained German spies. Everyone loves it when a complete loser, virgin college guy gets duped by his spy girlfriend to be the patsy for a large coup involving other spies, CIA, and the FBI. And what better way to show Anthony Edwards beat all of these people than with a mere animal tranquilizer gun. See it, if just for the "Yes, I am a weergin" line.

This movie was soo sweet, funny and gripping. I really loved Anthony in this one, and thought he was adorable. The story was simple but interesting and I thought the movie carried itself well. A must-see for any Anthony Edwards lover...like me!!
