Anyone remember 'Brain Candy'
The Kids in the Hall movie?
I actually liked it, I understand many did not.

2. I didn't so much like it
the first time I saw it...but I was determined I just *missed* something, so I watched it several more times. I still didn't like it.

:P

3. Yeah, I understand a lot of people thought that.
I thought it was great, particularly gay dad.

9. Their humor grows on you...
over time. I used to watch them everyday on Comedy Central. At first, I didn't like what I saw. I found them just utterly obnoxious. Over time though, I began to see where they were coming from.

It wasn't the drugs, I swear it. :D

11. Oh, I fully *get* KITH

4. Awesome flick!
Critics panned it - but they weren't smart enough to understand TKITH's humor...

And I loved Cancerboy...soooooo wrong and yet sooo funny.

5. Cancerboy whistling Fields of Athenry.
Strangely appropriate, n'est pas?

8. Pretty good stuff
I think their show was better than their movie. I've always said that those 5 guys were ahead of their time in many ways. People really didn't appreciate them.

10. Not their best work
They were feuding pretty heavily when they made the movie.

BTW, KITH's first season is now on DVD, with bonus footage from their pre-tv show appearances at the Rivoli Theater in Toronto.

15. Yep!, I like it..
I own it at home..couldn't find it anywhere to rent it and I hadn't seen it so I had to buy it.

I do like it, but I think the Kids could have done better..and they've said that too. At the end, it kind of falls flat because they didn't put enough thought into how to end it.

Kevin McDonald is the best in the movie. :)
