Based on the 2011 Belgian film, 'Hasta La Vista,' this movie about three young handicapped men on a clandestine road trip looking for love is funny, heartwarming and emotive.

Though not perfect, this warm-hearted tale of friendship and shared humanity is a fun ride worth taking.

A missed opportunity...but the film itself is funny, and doing something not generally done in mainstream cinema...an interesting film with a central issue within its casting...but it is funny and it is frank...

It's not only refreshing to see disabled characters front and centre but to have a story that everyone can understand that everyone just wants to be treated like everyone else, no barriers.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 8, 2020
All in all, about 200 per cent better than it reads on paper (though the title is still unforgivable).
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2020
The story also has mawkish tendencies. There is, however, a disarming amount of warmth in the dialogue and performances.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2020

All the performances confidently handle the material's sometimes breakneck tonal shifts...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 15, 2020
Come as You Are is the type of adult comedy that we need more of in this world, because it speaks to authentic and sometimes uncomfortable truths about life, in a way that can still make you laugh, even in the darkest moments.

Come As You Are is as sensitive to its subjects as you would hope, but never mires itself in sentimentality.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 13, 2020
Although it constantly underlines the leading trio's autonomy and maturity, it fails to stop seeing them as mischievous children. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 12, 2020
What a sweet, surprisingly funny buddy road trip of three men with disabilities hell bent on losing their virginity. This film is enlightening, respectful and smart.

Not only is the film a crowd pleaser, it's a reminder to always live life to the fullest no matter what obstacles you're dealt along the way.
| Original Score: 3.5 / 5 | May 13, 2020
Watching these four is hilarious as genuine friendships form and vulnerabilities are revealed with compassion, wit, a fair amount of insight, and no small amount of skill.The film also skillfully avoids cheap sentiment, no small feat here.
| Original Score: B+ | Apr 13, 2020
In inviting us to experience both the joy and pain these characters encounter, it provides the jolt the road-trip-comedy model so desperately needs.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 13, 2020
A surprise raunchy comedy that made it out of the early '00s to freshen up the modern comedic landscape. Insanely charming performances from everyone involved.
