“Candiland” (* out of four) was an incomprehensible drama about a former tennis star (James Clayton) who meets a fellow lost soul (Chelah Horsdal) one night at a bar and for reasons known only to them, they decide to isolate themselves in their own apartment and existence; his father (Gary Busey) tries to break through to them both physically and emotionally with less-than-exhilarating results. Since none of the characters are likeable and none of their relationships make any sense, this goes nowhere slowly. Seeing great character actor Busey wasting his talent on this junk is more saddening than the characters and their plight.
