Stefan M @smyles_eh Feb 1 You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll recall memories you forgot you had. This documentary has heart, a big heart. Beautifully directed by Colin Hanks, it shares private and public recollections of the impact this big man had on our collective selves. From Mr. Messenger and Johnny LaRue to Ox and Uncle Buck, Del Griffith and beyond, we all have our moments laughing at and with John Candy.

His movie's remind me of happier times. Tgis documentary is definitely a must see if you rate John Candy I've watched it 4 times now its happy & extremely sad but it Honours John See more Wayne K Dec 30 Few actors were as universally beloved during their lifetime as John Candy. As the opening of this documentary states, Candy, much like pro-wrestling’s Owen Hart, was the kind of person you could talk about for hours without having a single negative thing to say about them. With endless video footage and countless photos, we see a man at war with himself and his own past, his hidden traumas and the responsibilities that he couldn’t fulfil. It’s an emotional experience, largely because everyone involved is so passionate about John and his legend, and while it occasionally does this weird thing like its building to a climax only to carry on as normal afterwards, the impactful moments will melt even the stoniest of hearts. If you somehow don’t know who John Candy is, or are interested to know more about his life, then I Like Me is either a perfect introduction or a heartfelt tribute, depending on how you’re approaching it.

John Candy was a unique performer who resonated with audiences who tuned in to watch his improv skits, television shows, and movies. Johnny Toronto, we like you, too.
