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

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.

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.

Imperfect, but delightful for much of its journey, Come As You Are packages an important human rights message in a comedy for the bros.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
