Film ThreatAlan NgMar 24, 2020
With Come As You Are, the laughs are good and abundant, the characters are well-defined, and the story takes us on a wild trip to its heartfelt destination. Read full review

EmpireIan FreerJul 15, 2020
Even if it hits well-worn beats, Come As You Are still shines a light on the oft-ignored sexual wants and needs of the disabled community, with humour, empathy and poignancy. Read full review

Come As You Are tells its story through empathy, compassion and what feels like winsome insider-y humor. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleG. Allen JohnsonFeb 12, 2020
This is a funny and moving crowd-pleaser — a South by Southwest and Sundance selection, it won the audience award at the Napa Valley Film Festival and was an opening night film at S.F. IndieFest — and it goes down easy. Read full review

The Film StageJohn FinkMar 25, 2019
Imperfect, but delightful for much of its journey, Come As You Are packages an important human rights message in a comedy for the bros. Read full review

The New York TimesDevika GirishFeb 13, 2020
It softens the cruder edges of the original, but the candor with which Erik Linthorst’s script regards the characters’ sexual desires — coupled with the winning performances of the actors — leavens any sentimentalism. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreFeb 11, 2020
Yeah, it’s on-the-nose and plenty of the laughs are low-hanging fruit. But for guys with limited reach, this crew makes those easy laughs come easily, and unlike the film’s title, no pun intended. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFeb 13, 2020
Come as You Are hits most of the familiar road-movie beats, and telegraphs its surprises pretty shamelessly. It's not the most subtle disability comedy you've seen, nor is it at all concerned with exploring the ethical issues surrounding sex work. But its lightness is a virtue in the film's rare sentimental moments, which might've been too corny to bear in other contexts. Read full review

TheWrapCandice FrederickFeb 13, 2020
Come As You Are is best when it’s not trying so hard to be the next great sex comedy and actually focuses on building the relationships among the male friends and their own existential crises, which gives the film so much pathos as it explores their vulnerabilities and frustrations.
