Editorial Review:

Moviegoers never caught on to its brilliance, but Brain Candy is a smart, outrageously inventive vehicle for Canada's most irreverent comedy troupe. The subtly subversive plot is about society's ongoing search for the perfect "happy drug," and the Kids inhabit a multitude of costumes and characters as they celebrate--and lament--the invention of "Gleemonex," the ultimate antidepressant, which locks users into their happiest memories... and subsequently renders them comatose. No worries for the Roritor Chemical Company; they don't care much about side effects! With rampant riffs on heavy-metal doomsayers, closeted gay husbands (resulting in Scott Thompson's hilarious coming-out musical), blissed-out grandmothers, and all varieties of corporate greed-mongers, Brain Candy is almost too hip for its own good, combining Pythonesque ingenuity with cutting social satire. As a comedic experiment it's hit-and-miss, but with the cross-dressing Kids running the show, it's likely to leave you laughing out loud. --Jeff Shannon

"Say, if a TV comedy troupe like Monty Python can have a film career, why can't we, the Canadian equivalent?"

This movie amazes me. It has so many many of the lovable characters in a wonderful storyline. We are all part of these exaggerated and many lovable characters in some way or another. Everytime I watch this movie I laugh even more. This movie is a masterpeice and is one of the best of my collection. I highly recommend it. If they make another movie, I'll be there! I reallly hope they do because if it's anything like this one, it'll be very well made and entertaining!

I'll say it until I die twice! Kids in the Hall is the funniest Comedy troupe any time, any where! Brain Candy is the perfect example of how to turn a good show into a better movie. Brain Candy starts with several vignettes, like sketches from the show, that unfold into a tangible plot that moves forward.
Very simply, Chris Cooper invents a wonder-drug that can cure depression. Pretty soon, the drug goes non-prescription and Gleemonex is thoroughly abused by the masses. The by-product is ... Read More
