This film is funny, engaging and touching all at the same time. It brings a widely neglected issue into the spotlight, which I'm thankful for. I enjoyed every minute of it. Watch it if you can!
... made even more challenging under certain circumstance, but these guys rise to the challenge and inspire to overcome them.
With equal amounts of tears as laughter, three guys, each with their own physical hurdles to overcome, embark on a road trip that will leave you truly inspired and courageous enough to tackle any impediment of your own. Our vulnerabilities and fears are what define our heroism.

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.
Clever, funny, touching, entertaining, surprises galore and even educational. In what universe could anyone not love this movie?
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.
