Summary: One of the best comedies from the 80's
Review: If you want a flash back to punk rock, traveling Europe with no money and trying new pick up lines, this has it all. I especially love the 'you look like Bambi' reason he couldn't get a girl. Truly a murphy's law movie and if you haven't seen it, you don't know what you're missing. Anthony Edwards was perfectly cast as an inexperienced youth trying to find his way.

Summary: Take a trip back through time......
Review: In 1961, The Soviet Union and East Germany put up a 13 foot high wall surrounded by machine gun nests, land mines, guard dogs, and watch towers manned by guards with itchy trigger fingers.
1983, Anthony Edwards plays a nerdy college student involved in a kill or die paintball game on his college campus. He learns the basics of concealment and cover in this game of ambush. When he and his best friend manolo go to Europe for a vacation, anthony finds himself in way over his head. In a Paris cafe, anthony tries clumsily to pick up sasha (played by Linda Fiorentino). She is an older woman with a thing for virgins. What anthony doesn't know is that she is a CIA agent plotting to use him in a deadly game of espionage.
You get a good look at the Berlin wall (1961-89) and Checkpoint Charlie, which was the passage from the American Sector into East Berlin. I would recomend this movie for a history teacher to show students.

Summary: Just a fun movie!
Review: It's no James Bond, but it's no Top Secret either. Gotcha has some real humor, but not at the expense of a storyline or real suspense either. It's a fun movie to get caught up in and while it's not a classic mystery or spy thriller, there is a decent amount of guess work you have to do to figure it out.If you enjoy an entertaining film with a bit of wit and some nostalgia from the Cold War days, you'll like this movie.

Summary: Gorgeous scenery, and Paris ain't bad, either.
Review: Ronald Reagan was making "Evil Empire" speeches, the Berlin Wall was up, and Anthony Edwards had hair when he made this Cold War spoof about a naive American college student visiting Europe for the first time, who loses his virginity to an older film student -- or is she a spy? There are some clever plot twists, some nice shots of Paris, Berlin, and the UCLA campus, and a tiny bit of buddy-bonding. But for guys, the main reason to rent or buy this movie is the beefcake: Both Anthony Edwards and Jsu Garcia (his sleazoid roommate) display astonishingly gorgeous physiques.

Summary: Amusing and intelligent spy tale
Review: This is a humorous and intelligent spy tale about a naive and vulnerable college student who winds up way over his head in suspense while travelling Europe with his friend. Anthony Edwards plays the unknowing and unwilling pawn in this story, while the gorgeous Linda Fiorentino is the woman who Edwards falls for. The plot in the story is the student (Edwards) travels to Europe with a friend and along the way he plays a paintball game called Gotcha. However Edwards finds "Sasha" a beautiful woman on the run from the KGB, and quickly falls for her. From there the story takes many twists and turns and the finale is great. The supporting cast in the movie is excellent and enhances the story as well. The movie definitely worth a look!

Summary: Before "If looks Could Kill" this was the ideal vacation.
Review: This movie has Linda Fiorentino in her scrawny years. I had to follow her ever since. This also contains the Berlin I always wanted to see before the fall of the wall. And it even contained a French lesson. The title "Gotcha!" comes from a game of paint ball where one must track down and shoot various opposition or individuals for points. In the mean time you must keep from becoming a casualty yourself. It is summertime and Jonathan (Anthony Edwards) is on vacation in Western Europe. He runs into a mysterious woman, Sasha (Linda Fiorentino with a Czech accent) who has this thing for virgins. She lures him to East Berlin and uses him, unknowingly as a courier of film for the CIA. The bad guys find out and the fun begins. I won't tell you the rest of the story, as it is fun to watch the plot unfold.

Summary: What's not to like about Gotcha?
Review: This movie is a classic. I harbor fond memories of watching Gotcha as a wee lass - my brother and I were obsessed with the movie and we can still sing the theme song. This movie is a classic for anyone who enjoys 80s kitsch!

Summary: YAY!!
Review: What a flashback! My cousin and I watched this movie the summer I was 13, and we spent the rest of that month constantly quoting the scene from the restaurant (avec de l'eau!) and laughing hysterically! This is just a great fun movie, and I am so happy to see it's finally on DVD. I'll be sending it to that cousin for his birthday and I know he'll love it!
