Come As You Are has a wonderful way of making even the most obvious situations seem fresh and funny and original.

By Richard Roeper FULL REVIEW

Jul 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.

San Francisco Chronicle

Feb 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.

By G. Allen Johnson FULL REVIEW

Feb 13, 2020

There’s a relaxed yet energetic comic rapport between players that suggests a good time was had by all.

At once frank, tender and unapologetically funny, Come as You Are is a sweet surprise.

By Michael Rechtshaffen FULL REVIEW

Feb 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.

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

Feb 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.
