Clever, funny, touching, entertaining, surprises galore and even educational. In what universe could anyone not love this movie?
This Movie made me laugh more than any movie I have seen in the last few years.
A virtually unknown cast that nailed it. The acting was superb and every actor cast perfectly. The story was happy and sad and funny and real. It showed the struggles that people with disabilities go through in a real life way. If the budget was a bit higher this had the potential to be a blockbuster.

Scott, matt, and mo are three handicapped guys, getting therapy at the same place. To get a little tail, they hire a van and a nurse to check out a place in montreal that caters to the handicapped. Of course, everything goes wrong, but they are determined to get there. Great story. Humor, some raw truth. Some sadness, but that is part of life. Stick around for the credits... there's a bonus clip in there. Based on the 2011 film come as you are, which was written by asta philpot; he actually experienced some of this while in spain, and wrote the films describing it. Check out his story on wikipedia dot org. It's really good. A fair amount of cussing and adult themes, so not for the kids.
What a truly wonderful movie from beginning to end. Want details read someone else's review. Don't forget to say this wasn't useful.
Come As You Are was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect much of it, thought it was going to be an average movie but it turned out to be quite the opposite. There is not much bad to write about this movie, or at least I didn't see anything bad about it. The acting was really good, and that from the whole cast. Playing a disabled person is not the easiest character to portray but I actually had to check if they were really disabled in real life, that's how good they played that role. The humor was excellent, just the right amount combined with some melodramatic moments made Come As You Are a movie full of emotions. Good job from Erik Linthorst, he wrote an enjoyable and moral uplifting story. Certainly a movie I would recommend and that I will watch again in the future.
