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
Comedy is so subjective. You could be in a room with 400 people laughing at a joke and you could just not think its funny. Youre just sitting there like, Am I in the twilight zone? Why is everyone laughing? Its such a personal thing. People have such a personal visceral response to comedy. – 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 find I like to work with a lot of the same actors, because I find that theres sort of shorthand there, and there is this unspoken trust, both ways. They trust me and I trust them. And I know what Im going to get from them, to an extent. Its just fun, kind of creating this little family. – Todd Phillips
