Character Evaluation
Todd Phillips' early works are mostly mainstream comedies with a little bit of nasty fun. The innovation index is not high, and the stories are not new. No matter how you look at them, they are all small films by small directors. However, despite being unheard of, Todd Phillips' talent has always been well-known in the industry. In 2009, "The Hangover" made Todd Phillips finally enter the room. This film about a man standing on the threshold of marriage "a night of madness" is actually not new, but under the tutelage of Todd Phillips, this farce that combines reasoning and funny is finally quite novel and unique
. In "The Hangover Part III", Todd Phillips broke the original "The Hangover Mode" and brought a lot of surprises to the audience
