Culture: “Hangover” director Todd Phillips, on the movie’s surprise success

  • They gave us a standing ovation after the screening, which I’ve never seen before. I think everyone was drunk.
  • Todd Phillips • On the film’s Dublin premiere. Philips, who has the hits “Road Trip” and “Old School” to his name, is responsible for the third-largest opening for an R-rated comedy ever, which is even more impressive if you keep in mind three things: One, that the top two openings were major franchises (“Sex in the City” and “American Pie 2”); two, that the movie had no marquee stars (we’re so happy Zach Galifianakis has been unleashed on the world); and three, that Phillips started his career as a documentarian for shock-rocker GG Allin. • source
