Basically, Catherine Zeta Jones character rips up the pre-nup to show her love for George Clooney (I'm not good on character names) and he is really happy that she loves him so much. Then him and his lawyer friend are watching a TV Show and Billy Bob Thornton's character is on there as a doctor. The two of them realise that he was only acting and therefore George Clooney is richer than Catherine Zeta-Jones and she had ripped up the pre-nup! Then George Clooney phones up some assassin to take her out so he doesn't have to pay a penny. A few minutes after he has done this, Zeta-Jones' first ex (the one who has an obsession with trains) dies and Clooney is informed that he never changed his will so Zeta-Jones gets everything. This makes her richer than him so he has to run around to her house and tell the assassin to not kill her...to cut a long story short they get back together at the end.

There's actually quite a bit after that, but I'll sum it up anyway.

Reader's digest version (spoilers, duh):

-Marilyn tears up the pre-nup.
-Miles finds out that Harold was an actor with no money, and hires an asthmatic hit man on Marilyn. (Also, Sara isn't actually dead.)
-Rex dies of a heart attack and his will is so out-of-date that everything goes to Marilyn.
-Miles tries to call off the hit man, but Marilyn has already caught him and paid him to kill Miles.
-Miles blinds the hit man, making him switch his gun and his inhaler so that he kills himself.
-Miles and Marilyn decide to stay married, "exposed."
-For giving her Harold, Marilyn helps Donovan start a new show, "World's Funniest Divorce Videos," hosted by Gus.

The part with the assassin is hilarious! You have to watch it. Plus in the very end when they get back together, George Clooney signs a pre-nup telling Catherine Zeta Jones that he does not want her new found wealth, but then she takes it and tears it up. Then they kiss and that's the end of it.

Hello-BBT's character is
Howard-not Harold.
