At the premiere of John Candy: I Like Me at TIFF 2025, Ryan Reynolds stole the spotlight not just as the film’s producer, but as a proud dad with a story no one expected. He confessed that despite his own efforts—phone calls, video messages, even chasing down wrong numbers it wasn’t his charm that won Bill Murray over. Instead, it was a simple, unscripted plea from his toddler, Olin, who looked straight into the camera and told Murray, “Do the interview, Bill.” It was the kind of pure, innocent honesty no one could say no to.
Bill Murray’s eventual response captured his own quirky spirit. After ghosting Reynolds for a while, he finally returned the call with a simple question: “What can I do for JC?” a nod to John Candy. In that moment, Murray didn’t just agree to participate in the documentary, he embraced the project as a chance to honor a friend whose humor and heart had shaped generations. The story showed how sometimes the biggest gestures come from the smallest voices, and how even comedy legends need a little nudge from unexpected places.
For Reynolds, the moment tied together his love for family and his admiration for John Candy. He explained how Candy influenced his career and how the loss of Candy in 1994 felt like losing someone larger than life. Now, decades later, standing in Toronto the city Candy called home Reynolds felt the weight of completing a circle. With Colin Hanks directing and Murray on board, the documentary became more than just a film; it became a generational tribute, sparked by a two-year-old’s heartfelt request.

Da trieft schon beim Text der Kitsch ausm Arsch.

Film soll auch purer Schmalz sein.

Ich fand's interessant, auch wenn das meiste natürlich bereits bekannt ist.

Gesehen.
Ein unerträglicher Schmalzscore kitschnudelt den Film vom Fleck weg ins Nirvana. Hier wird wirklich alles ins Gefühlige gefiedelt, man hält es schon nach einer Viertelstunde kaum noch aus. Dass Ryan Reynolds und Colin Hanks noch nie dokumentarisch gearbeitet haben, wird auch schnell klar: Außer konzeptlos gedrehten Standardinterviews und Archivmaterial gibt's nichts zu sehen und eine Dramaturgie gibt's auch nicht; die abschließende "John Candy bester Mann forever"-Montage gibt's schon nach einer halben Stunde und dann wieder nach einer Stunde.
Überhaupt erzählen hier bekannte bis superprominente Menschen pausenlos nur eins: Dass John Candy der beste Mensch aller Zeiten war. Am Ende sehen Gandhi und Mutter Teresa im Vergleich aus wie Schwerverbrecher.
Müll.

Auch gesehen. Wie zu erwarten gefällt mir die Doku ganz gut. Ich finde es schön, wenn es mal nichts zu meckern gibt. Andere finden das unschön. Nun ja.
