The writers of this blatant copycat film should hang their heads in shame - for 'I want Candy' is an exact duplicate of 'The Girl Next Door' released 3 years prior. What? You thought we wouldn't notice - that we'd forget in 3 years. Everything, from the characters to the situations and story, is more or less an exact copy of a much better film.
Films like 'I want Candy' make me physically feel sick to the stomach - I want us Brits to make films that inspire the rest of world cinema, not 'knock it off'. I cannot imagine anyone with the right frame of mind liking this movie after they have seen 'The Girl Next Door', a much better directed and far better written film.
If you haven't seen this film - DO NOT WATCH IT.
If you have seen this film, enjoyed it, and not yet seen 'The Girl Next Door', I advise you to watch it as it is a much better film if somewhat underrated.
