I think reviewers have become particularly venomous because, in a way, the power has been sucked from them. A 15-year-old can write a review on the Internet and it means as much as Roger Ebert's review, and that just makes Roger Ebert mad, so he comes out harder and stronger.

I never had a ton of male friends and it's always been something that's really interesting to me, what brings guys together? The bonding. 'Old School' is a good example of that. And even 'Starsky' and even 'Road Trip.' Todd Phillips bondbringfriend share on social
All my movies, as I get the ability to do it, they tend to go a little darker, a little darker. Todd Phillips abilitydarkmovie Change image and share on social
I'm not a huge fan of 3-D, though. Honestly, I think that movies are an immersive experience and an audience experience. There's nothing like seeing a film with 500 people in a theater. And there's something about putting on 3-D glasses that makes it a very singular experience for me. Suddenly I'm not connected to the audience anymore.

It's heartbreaking when you hear a kid buying a ticket for... I don't know, whatever movie you're up against. And you see them sneaking into your film. It's just heartbreaking. But in the spirit of full disclosure, that is what I did as an 11-year-old sneaking into 'Stripes.' Todd Phillips buydisclosurefilm share on social
I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing. Todd Phillips grouppartteach Change image and share on social
I don't have a horror film in me just because I don't like to be scared. But I definitely have a documentary in me, and I certainly have dramas. Todd Phillips documentarydramafilm Change image and share on social
I remember that when I got to NYU, everyone was writing scripts. But I was 18 at the time, and when you write a script, so much of it is about what you pull from life, and this sounds sort of cheesy, but I felt like I didn't have enough life experience at that point to write a movie.
