He is best known for directing the comedy films Road Trip, Old School, The Hangover, Due Date and The Hangover Part II. Phillips was born in Dix Hills, Long Island, New York, and attended New York University Film School, but dropped out in order to focus on completing his first film, the feature-length documentary Hated: GG Allin and the Murder Junkies, about the life and death of punk rocker GG Allin. Around this time, he worked at Kim's Video and Music. He also appeared as one of the drivers in the first seasons of Taxicab Confessions on HBO.
