John Candy: I Like Me

sweet, vulnerable, generous, genuine good guy

&quot;Yeah, you&apos;re right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you, but I don&apos;t like to hurt people&apos;s feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I&apos;m not changing. I like me.&quot;

This sweet, vulnerable, generous, genuine good guy who is John Candy, is a child himself who wants to make everyone happy. He seems to have truly experienced the lives and emotions of the humble characters he played in films and television. He gives to everyone, struggles to find the right path, and is at his best when engaging others. In life and on-screen Candy overflows with humor, heart, humanity, humbleness, and authenticity. This inspiring documentary makes that clear while utilizing archival materials, heartfelt testimonies from other story tellers, and interviews with those who knew Candy well including Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Martin Short, Candy&apos;s family members, and more.

&quot;I don&apos;t think I want to know a six-year-old who isn&apos;t a dreamer, or a silly-heart. And I sure don&apos;t want to know one who takes their student career seriously.&quot;

Ryan Reynolds (one of the producers), Candy&apos;s son, daughter, and wife, and even Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney were at this world premiere screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. Carney offered keen and apt insight into the characters that Candy played, saying that in many of his roles Candy was pushed too far, but always stood up for himself and others in the end. &quot;Don&apos;t push a Canadian too far,&quot; Carney said, referring both to Candy and to Canadians in interactions their southern neighbor. Director Colin Hanks, Ryan Reynolds, and Jennifer and Chris (Candy&apos;s daughter and son) all answered questions after the screening. Each agrees with me that Planes, Trains and Automobiles is Candy&apos;s best role.

The film will explore the life and legacy of the iconic funnyman Candy, who died of a heart attack in 1994 at the age of 43.
