Dennis Harvey Variety 09/11/2009
While it's seldom uproarious, there's steady amusement in the luckless protag's rise from universally proclaimed "biggest douchebag" to ... well, anything would be an improvement. Go to Full Review Jennie Punter Globe and Mail 08/28/2009
2/4
A tightly scripted comedy on the fast track to a very twisted happy ending. Go to Full Review Jason Anderson Toronto Star 08/28/2009

No recent Canadian movie so richly deserves a dedicated cult of admirers as You Might As Well Live. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 11/16/2011
1/4
It's clear right from the get-go that You Might As Well Live has been designed to appeal to a very specific sense of humor... Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies 08/28/2009
3/5
The entire experience of You Might As Well Live is like one of those "Dark Comedy" nights at a sketch club, written on the fly by the most demented people in the room. Go to Full Review National Post 06/05/2009

06/27/2016 This movie wants very, very badly to be The Jerk. It isn't. See more 06/30/2012 IF YOU'RE INTO... this kind of movies, then by all means, you probably found it much better than I did. I thought it was simply stupid. I made myself watch it because I wanted to figure out what I was thinking when I decided to put it on my list of movies to watch. The preview must have been mighty good. The movie was not horrible but it was like watching an extended episode of some trailer trash park TV show See more 03/23/2012 A very weird and morbid comedy that makes you wonder who comes up with this shit!! Still pretty fucking funny! See more brandon e 08/02/2011 A little overboard on the penis jokes See more 04/03/2011 Twisted, low-budget Canadian scetch comedy See more 02/14/2011 Probably one of the funniest indie dark comedies I've ever seen. It's currently playing on HBO and is definetly worth your time if you're into well made dark comedies with a Canadian flair to it. This is however intended just for adults, and is quite surprising in some parts. See more Read all reviews
