Moved to tears by prime video & amazon mgm studiosโ€™ ๐—๐—ผ๐—ต๐—ป ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜†: ๐—œ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐— ๐—ฒ.

The brilliance of Candy isnโ€™t talked about enough anymore these days, so a tribute was long overdue.

Fellow Canuck Ryan Reynolds apparently agreed and lovingly put together this doc through his Maximum Effort production shingle.

Colin Hanks, whose father shared the screen with Candy in Ron Howardโ€™s ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ต (๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต๐Ÿด๐Ÿฐ), is co-producing and directing.

It immediately made me want to rewatch ๐—ฃ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ง๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—”๐˜‚๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ (๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต๐Ÿด๐Ÿณ), which is not just my favorite Candy performance, it really is one of my favorite films full stop.

The โ€œI Like Meโ€ quote is obviously a reference to John Hughesโ€™ underrated road-movie, and it encapsulates Candyโ€™s life and career so beautifully and completely.

Drop whatever it is youโ€™re doing and seek out this labor of love (both of โ€˜em).
