“Love is not a big enough word.”

John Candy broke through comedy by being himself: generous, loud, unafraid to take the hit for the laugh. Colin Hanks assembles footage and testimony from Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Eugene Levy to trace how a kid from Toronto became essential to film and television. What made Candy singular, and what cost him, live in the space between the joy he gave and the peace he never quite found.
