The American Humor of a Silly Agent

I participated in the film meeting of "Agents of Waste Wood". The atmosphere of the whole film is very cheerful, and the American humor is just right. It is a good recreational comedy film. The film was rated as an R-rated film in the United States, with hookah smoking and violent and bloody scenes. I wonder if it will be harmonious when it is released in China. The male protagonist (Mike) is a bit silly (laughs). He is a salesperson in a supermarket. He usually draws comics when he has nothing to do. His life is simple and sloppy, but he is a hidden superpower. Personally, I like the setting of such a male protagonist.
The rhythm of the whole film is basically a cycle of funny - serious - funny. When you are obviously very nervous, you will laugh abruptly, and the rhythm is brisk. The two batches of superhumans created by the government, one is a Homo sapiens like the male protagonist, and the other is a thug transformed from a neurotic. The CIA thug maker used thugs to catch the male protagonist. This is the main line of the movie. The love story between Mike and the heroine (Phoebe) is a branch. (I won't say much about the content in order to avoid spoilers).
Although the movie is characterized by "superpowers" and "special agents", I love every little joke in it and the characteristic American humor. The most representative part should be the climax. The scene where Mike uses the fireworks hero to save the beauty is romantic and in line with the style of the whole movie. In fact, the director just wants to make a comedy film in a serious manner. A classmate asked where the male protagonist is a secret agent. In fact, hey, in order to train super-high-powered agents, the government operates on ordinary people, and the male protagonist is worth 400 million US dollars. In the end, the male protagonist became a government agent and
appeared in Chinese. Eisenberg's pronunciation was standard haha.
