Robert (Joshua Peace) tries to be somebody by getting a girl, some money and a championship.

Dennis Harvey

Variety

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.

Globe and Mail

A tightly scripted comedy on the fast track to a very twisted happy ending.

Rated: 2/4

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...

Rated: 1/4

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.

Rated: 3/5

This movie wants very, very badly to be The Jerk. It isn't.

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

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.
