TIFF 50th Edition Kicking Off With Colin Hanks & Ryan Reynolds’ New Documentary ‘John Candy: I Like Me’

The Toronto International Film Festival is opening its 50th edition on Sept. 4 with a look back at one of the Great White North's own: legendary SCTV comedic actor-turned-comedy superstar, John Candy in the Colin Hanks directed, Ryan Reynolds produced new documentary, John Candy: I Like Me.

The docu features candid stories and memories from Candy’s family, closest friends, and longtime collaborators, covering his on-and-off camera life. Colin Hanks has made a hugely entertaining film packed with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but like John, this movie is all heart. We are incredibly honored to have gotten to know the man better through this process and to bring the real John Candy to audiences starting with his hometown of Toronto,” said Hanks and Reynolds in a statement.
