I love John Candy movies. From Stripes to Summer Rental to Uncle Buck to The Great Outdoors to Wagons East! The best is Planes Trains and Automobiles. This doc felt... I don't know, but not funny at all. Every single person has the same comments about John Candy. The tone was set with Bill Murray at the start. He couldn't find a bad thing to say. After a while, it's like I get it. His father died young. He was always aware of his weight and potential to pass away at a young age. I honestly, thought more clips would have been funny and not sad. I just felt like the needle was firmly in the gloomy zone and would have benefitted from back and forth hilarious parts like Candy playing the dashboard piano and then in a devil's outfit! Or poking fun at his size when he eats the giant steak, grizzle and all! Or any other number of fun and funny scenes. Too many sombre discussions and some chatter about his comic genius, yet not enough clips showing it.
