The Screen Addict Recommends โ ๐๐ผ๐ต๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐: ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฒ

The brilliance of Candy isnโt 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 Howardโs ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ต (๐ญ๐ต๐ด๐ฐ), is co-producing and directing.
It immediately made me want to rewatch ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ๐, ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ๐ (๐ญ๐ต๐ด๐ณ), which is not just my favorite Candy performance, it really is one of my favorite films full stop.
The โI Like Meโ quote is obviously a reference to John Hughesโ underrated road-movie, and it encapsulates Candyโs life and career so beautifully and completely.
Drop whatever it is youโre doing and seek out this labor of love (both of โem).
