I grew up loving the humor of John Candy. He starred in some of my favorite movies, like Uncle Buck and Home Alone, and was always the lovable goofball. He was one of those people that you thought you knew, even though he was on screen, and not in your living room. When you pictured John Candy in real life, he could've been your neighbor. So, I'm excited and a little afraid to learn about his actual life in an upcoming documentary. His family is on board and giving the film makers their input, so I'm hoping that it's a true look at the man behind his laughter, but, I have to admit, I'm a little nervous that the John Candy that lives in my heart will be harmed a bit by having too much knowledge. Here's to hoping that the John Candy that I love continues to be unscathed. Love you, John Candy. Thank you for the laughs:) ~Karla
