Life is full of irony, we have to laugh it off

I like drama movies that are satirical, funny and critical. Three pairs of seemingly unrelated people are linked by the dark side of life... Cox said the most in the movie is that others are stupid X, loser, like to teach others, in fact, he is the most stupid, an alcoholic who has no self-control, his wife Betrayed him, calculated his property, and planned to write a memoir to return to the peak of his life, but his secret was accidentally leaked by his wife who was determined to divorce him.

George Clooney is always so masculine, dating once a day and running are his manifestations of his vitality. On the surface, he is proud and coquettish, but in fact he is the most cowardly. His whereabouts, and he was going to divorce him. In the end, I didn't expect his wife to have an affair in other places, so she was always on business trips.

Pete is a fool in it. He runs and exercises in the gym drinking sports drinks every day. He discovers a mysterious CD. He wants to experience an exciting life, but he does not have the basic IQ. Wearing a suit is torture for him, and finally he is confused. What a shame to be killed by Clooney, who never fired a gun.

All the wives are cheating. Silly Baitian Linda is dreaming of having plastic surgery to become beautiful and marrying herself. Unfortunately, there is no surgery fee. All hopes are pinned on that CD, and I think I take myself too seriously to think that I can shake the relationship between the United States and Russia. She finally met Clooney, who has a sense of humor, and thought there was hope in life. What she didn't know was that this man mistakenly killed Pete and made him take advantage of her plastic surgery dreams...

The best man in the movie is actually the manager of the gym, he secretly loves Linda, he knows she's doing something wrong, but he's crazy about love, sneaks into Cox's house to steal data, and gets hacked to death by a drunk Cox, it's really sad ...

Linda finally got the surgery fee, but what she didn't know was that the CIA ignored why she asked for money, they didn't care at all. The money is obtained, but the person worthy of love leaves forever, is it worth it?

Life is full of dark humor, it is better to be calm and pragmatic.
