	Strangers with Candy (2006): Reviews
		Strangers with Candy is a daring leap backwards.
		Fans of the cult TV comedy Strangers with Candy may be happy to catch any sighting of the silly escapades of Amy Sedaris' middle-aged ex-con junkie.
		Strangers With Candy regularly lampoons junkie-reparation melodramas and after-school specials, but with so little focus it's never clear what the film, or even Sedaris's vaudeville buffoon incarnation, is supposed to be parodying.

	Strangers with Candy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strangers With Candy title screen from the second season.
		Strangers With Candy was a cult television series produced by Comedy Central.
		It is arguable that Jerri Blank has become even more famous than the woman that inspired her; while Strangers with Candy became a cult success, Florrie Fisher sank into obscurity in the 1980s.

	Salon Entertainment Joyce Millman \| Middle-aged wasteland
		In Comedy Central's twisted new series "Strangers With Candy," celebrated New York playwright, comic and waitress Amy Sedaris plays Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old former teenage runaway, junkie, hooker and jailbird who returns home after 32 years determined to have the "normal" adolescence she never had.
		Comedy Central's first live-action original non-skit series, "Strangers With Candy" is one of the most inventively bizarre shows in a long time (right up there with HBO's recent trial run of the mock-rock duo sitcom "Tenacious D").
		"Strangers With Candy" manages to sustain the "Afterschool Special" joke with its smudged, '70s neo-realistic look, generic pseudo-pop background music and Jerri's throwback wardrobe, which is so hideous I suspect it came from somebody's actual closet, not a Hollywood costume shop.

	Strangers with Candy
		Previous to making Strangers With Candy, Paul Dinello and Dan Dinello collaborated with Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and Mitch Rouse on several short films: Wheels of Fury (with Amy, Paul, Mitch and Dan), Shock Asylum (with Paul and Stephen), and Beyond the Door (with Paul and Stephen).
		The Strangers With Candy movie opens in New York on June 28.
		Strangers With Candy is gleefully absurdist stuff that is clearly not factory-made to suit all tastes, but it's certainly a brave if willfully fucked-up piece of work.

		Strangers With Candy is a perfect send-up of insipid topical teen shows like My So-Called Life and the After School Specials that spewed conformist propoganda into the ears and eyes of America's youth every weekday afternoon during the 1980's.
		Strangers With Candy may not have been the best of these shows, or even the edgiest, but it very well may have been the darkest.
		Strangers With Candy certainly benefitted from this policy; its vision is clearly uncompromised.

		Looking at it that way, the future seems sweet for "Strangers With Candy," the irreverent 1999-2000 program that will resurface in theaters this summer with a fiercely loyal built-in audience.
		The dialogue was similarly appealing to an impressive list of Hollywood names that proudly count themselves among the "Candy" diehards, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick and current Oscar-frontrunner Philip Seymour Hoffman.
		For "Sex and the City" star Parker, the film's pickup represents a rare opportunity for her fans to witness the more irreverent side of her personality.

		I really loved "Strangers with Candy" and was sad when it was cancelled prematurely.
		Strangers With Candy was an absolutely brilliant comedy that took the concept of After-School Specials and turned it on its head - then gave it a wedgie - and then gave it a swirlie.
		What is perhaps most strange about Strangers With Candy is its success at making good and relevant points about some of the serious matters it subjects to a humiliating treatment in the name of comedy.

		But upon her release from prison, the 46-year-old decides it's time to clean up her life, move back in with her family, and earn a high school diploma.
		As ex-con Jerri maneuvers through the pecking order of teen life with zero social savoir-faire and her own brand of clueless prison ethics, STRANGERS WITH CANDY serves as a biting, politically-incorrect satire of moralizing afterschool specials and a hilarious look at the pangs of growing up--again.
		In its second season, "Strangers With Candy" continues doing more of the same thing it has been doing from the beginning; being an irreverent parody of morality tales.

		Back in the 70s life was simple - you could always spot the stranger - it was either the creepy man in the park with the trench coat OR the creepy man in the car trying to lure you away with candy or puppies.
		I thought nothing about revealing personal bits of information to relative strangers - of course back then it was all face-to-face - this crazy Internet cyber world thing was years away.

	Filmmaker Magazine \| Winter 2006: Industry Beat
		Regarding Candy, producer Mark Roberts says that Warner’s official reason had to do with dozens of items — rumored to be posters, props and garage sale oddities that Sedaris’s 46-year-old high school student Jerri Blank has on her walls — that the company alleges were not properly cleared.
		But what makes the Strangers situation intriguing to outsiders and downright terrifying to indie producers is the potential, say industry insiders, for clearance conflicts to be used as an excuse by distributors experiencing buyer’s remorse to back out of a deal.
		One of the larger issues at stake in the Candy mess is the continuing clash between indie filmmaking and the corporate world.
