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!
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.

... 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.

I remember seeing the documentary about three guys going to a brothel in Spain. That was turned in to a very funny and sad Belgium film. I have to agree with some of the other posters, it's disappointing to see able-bodied actors playing disabled parts. Whilst the film does its best to address issues And difficulties of being a disabled person, they seem to forget that going on a road trip involves having showers and going to the toilet.
Speaking as somebody who is in a wheelchair it would be virtually impossible to take on trips like this without the aid of a carer. Having said that bearing in mind there are very few films about disability out there This does at At least show some of the frustrations and inability to fit into society being a disabled person.

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.
