From director Colin Hanks and lifelong John Candy fan Ryan Reynolds comes JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME, an exploration of the life of the Canadian comedic icon. Featuring never-before-seen home videos, intimate access to his family and candid recollections from collaborators–including Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Steve Martin, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Macaulay Culkin, Tom Hanks and Martin Short–I LIKE ME paints a bigger picture of one of the brightest stars of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. It’s the story of a son, husband, father, friend and professional driven to bring joy to audiences and loved ones while battling personal ghosts and Hollywood pressures.

Candy may have passed some thirty years ago, but his legacy endures in the hearts and funny bones of fans around the world.
