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
Theres a punk-rock attitude, clearly, to Hated. Theres even a punk-rock attitude to The Hangover, I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song. – Todd Phillips
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
I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when its a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff. – Todd Phillips
