Career
Moore is one of the writers of The Hangover, one of the highest grossing R-rated comedies of all-time.[2] He works with longtime writing partner Jon Lucas.[3] They were nominated for Best Original Screenplay in 2009 by both the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA)[4] and the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
With Jon Lucas, Moore wrote and directed the comedy film 21 & Over, which was their directorial debut.[5]
In October 2012, they sold to ABC a pilot for a new comedy show named Mixology, which follows five guys and five girls "trying to find love at a trendy Manhattan bar," all over the course of a single night. The show ran for 13 episodes.[6]
In 2016 they wrote and directed Bad Moms, which became a surprise hit, grossing over $180 million dollars worldwide and winning the People's Choice Award for Best Comedy. It was successful enough to spawn a sequel, A Bad Moms Christmas, which was also financially successful.
