The word is grand.

John Candy: I Like Me — 3/5

If you like John Candy, this is enjoyable enough to watch. You see some of his personal life, and you learn some things you didn't know. It does not have an overarching throughline or manage to sum up his life's story. It's a bunch of people you like talking about a guy you like, so it feels more like friends gathered for a remembrance rather than a dissection. It's a comfortable movie in that way. It's a project whose primary concern is allowing people to mourn.
