Chicago Sun-Times
Come As You Are has a wonderful way of making even the most obvious situations seem fresh and funny and original. - 75
The Film Stage
Imperfect, but delightful for much of its journey, Come As You Are packages an important human rights message in a comedy for the bros. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
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. - 75

Come As You Are tells its story through empathy, compassion and what feels like winsome insider-y humor. - 70
The New York Times
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. - 70
Los Angeles Times
At once frank, tender and unapologetically funny, Come as You Are is a sweet surprise. - 70
Variety
There’s a relaxed yet energetic comic rapport between players that suggests a good time was had by all. - 63
