The Todd Phillips Stamp...

So this past weekend I went to see Todd Phillips new comedy The Hangover, featuring Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifinakis, Ed Helms and bunch of hilarious supporting cast. Phillips, now after such films as Road Trip, Old School and Starsky and Hutch, has begun to make his stamp of film comedy. You can always tell when it is one of his gems. I would not put him in the company of Mel Brooks, but he is on his way to have a great portfolio of contemporary comedy. I think his success stems from not just his actors, but a well rounded script in each of his films. Above the hilarious antics, and great comedica acting he usually has in his films, the story lines are captivating because he is not affraid to take it further then you could imagine. Here is an interview with Phillips by maxim magazine...
