Quotes by 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.

Its all about escapism. Thats essentially what all movies are about. Its a vicarious thrill.

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.

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.
