About ‘John Candy: I Like Me’
Directed by Colin Hanks, as well as lifelong John Candy superfan Ryan Reynolds, “John Candy: I Like Me” is a touching portrait of a deeply funny, but sometimes troubled man who faced the immense pressures of stardom while balancing his life as a son, a father, a husband, and a friend.
