Clooney's idiot

After watching this film, Brad Pitt and George Clooney thought it should be good, but it turned out not to be what I imagined, but it is also very interesting...
A frustrated bald head in the workplace who is super impatient and explodes, his wife is mean and selfish Bitchi hooked up with his neighbor(?). As for this neighbor, he's a little white-faced person who goes around talking about friends. One of Xiaobailian's dating targets is a single girl who is a clerk in the gym and has no money for plastic surgery. The single girl has a stupid colleague, Bupi.
One day... Bupi picked up a bald-headed memoir that was secretly copied by the bald-headed wife. Since the bald head was from the CIA before, the content "looked" very cool, so Bupi and the single girl wanted to rely on this to make money. By the way, this is how the story unfolds. . .
Everyone in this movie is basically a jerk and ends up being tragic. Among them, the most tragic person is probably the gym owner, who had a crush on a girl and died terribly in the end. But the girl's dream came true.
The two funniest episodes are the boss of the CIA, and the second monk can't figure it out. What the hell are these people tossing about?

    I wouldn't watch it if it wasn't for Pete

    Very stupid and absurd, satirizing the CIA (casually killing people and destroying corpses, wasting manpower and resources, taxpayers' money paid for the cosmetic surgery of the old woman), lawyers, doctors, marriage, middle-aged crisis, fitness industry, dating sites, Yin Sheng Yang declines (3 women eventually became winners, 4 men died, 3 escaped) and so on. The biggest joke was that BradPitt hid in the closet and watched the GC take a shower, but he failed to "come out" until his death.
