Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy

In the 1996 Canadian comedy film "Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy," a pharmaceutical scientist creates a pill that induces people to recall their happiest memory, leading to an onslaught of bizarre side effects. The five-man troupe plays all major characters, including a rock star who switches from bleak music to upbeat pop after taking the drug, and a depressed old woman whose happy memory is revealed through a brief Christmas visit from her son. With its vivid visual style and signature absurdity, Brain Candy attempts to find humor in its uneven and overextended story, but ultimately falls short of its potential.
