John Candy was awesome. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Canadian Bacon, Uncle Buck, Who's Harry Crumb, The Great Outdoors, Cool Runnings... hell, he was even in Home Alone and the best movie of all time: The Blues Brothers.
Besides, he was a Canadian, like all of the best comedy actors.

Well I just meant screw critics in general. Like what you like and don't let them influence your taste too much, ya know? Everyone's different.
I like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Uncle Buck was average to me though. Oh, and he was in The Blues Brothers, Home Alone, and Spaceballs (all enjoyable).

spaceballs is too much for me, having seen it a trillion times on tv.. i'll get on the rest of the list, though! ('cept cool runnings, my family has that on vhs, and i'm quite familiar with it! ha)

jim carrey's my favorite..
and yes.. however, i watched canadian bacon last night-- and though candy's role was well executed.. the movie, as a whole, was pretty terrible.. fortunately, michael moore later found his true calling.

Most truthful statement on this site. Love the part where he is introducing bobsledding to the Jamaicans via slideshow. With all of those wrecks. SO damn funny.

Sarcasm. Completely sarcasm. That's the point.

Agree with this, but still he's nowhere near John Candy.
John Candy... J*** C**** ... J.C. ... Jesus Christ... "is there a little similarity here? I think so."
