Theres a darkness under The Hangover because ultimately theres a missing person and its not really that funny. Theres a sort of darkness under it that I love, and still people are laughing as hard if not harder than they did in Old School. – Todd Phillips

You know, if I started worrying about what the critics think, Id never make another comedy. You couldnt pick a less funny group than critics – you couldnt find a more bitter group of people! – Todd Phillips

I think that Hangover II is as funny as The Hangover I, honest to God, but I think that its a little bit darker, and the stakes are a little bit higher. – Todd Phillips
