It's been a while since an american comedy had not been that much popular. Maybe since the golden age of the Farrelly brothers (it was back in the nineties, with "Dumb and Dumber" and "There's something about Mary"). Unlike the Farrelly brothers, though, Todd Phillips' previous movies were not that good, only regular-popcorn-teen-comedies.Here precisely, we can see how the Farrelly brothers influenced the whole american comedy genre over the past fifteen years, in particular with the apparition of explicit sexual jokes (the Farrelly brothers are famous for making a lot of those, not only in their movies, but also in their everyday life, as Cameron Diaz reported about the strange way they 'tested' her humor when she got cast - see "There's something about Mary" bonuses for more details...). Now it is not rare anymore to show penises in american comedies, noteably in several Judd Apatow productions, and here in "The Hangover".
The best point of this movie might finally be the end credits, which feature what they pretended not to show.
