Here’s director Todd Phillips talking up his latest film, “The Hangover Part II.”
“I think there are very few sequels that have been made that live up to or exceed their first film. ‘The Godfather’ is the first one,” Phillips told us. “We had always planned on calling it ‘The Hangover 2,’ and when we finished the script, I changed the cover page and wrote ‘The Hangover Part II,’ because I think the film lives up to or exceeds the first one. It was very much a nod to ‘The Godfather.’ “
Here’s two free interview tips. Never say nice things about Hitler. Never compare your anemic sequel to “The Godfather Part II.”

Christian, thou must respect the Todd. Seriously, if I were a studio executive I’d worship the ground he walks on. As critic, not so much.
I used to respect the Todd. But Due Date and Hangover Part II shattered that respect!
Hilarious! The guy is clearly in need of having a doctor re-adjust the doses of his psychotic medications…he seems to be having an “mental episode”.
Yeah, I’m with Mike B.: plainly this guy’s short on lithium, and I don’t mean his laptop battery.
It sounds like someone is reading and believing his press releases.
