As he grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, he’d often go camping in the Quetico Provincial Park, up on the border of Minnesota and Canada.

The recent “McConaissance”, as this wonderful era will now and forever be known, has turned the once maligned rom-com regular’s reputation on its head and tapped into exactly what critics and audiences around the world want to see.
