You Might As Well Live is a 2009 Canadian comedy film directed by Simon Ennis. The film stars Joshua Peace as Robert Mutt, an unsuccessful slacker who has just been released from the hospital following a suicide attempt and is on a quest to transform his life after experiencing a vision of baseball legend Clinton Manitoba telling him that the three keys to success in life are to "get money, a girlfriend and a championship ring." The film’s title comes from the poem "Resumé", by Dorothy Parker.

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 67% based on 6 reviews, and an average rating of 5.5/10.[1]

Variety's Dennis Harvey gave the film a mostly positive review, remarking that the film was "a promising first-feature collaboration for director Simon Ennis and co-writer/star Joshua Peace", and noted that "[w]hile it's seldom uproarious, there's steady amusement".[2] Katherine Monk of the Edmonton Journal called the film an "overlong comedy sketch", but opined that it was redeemed by strong acting.[3]

The film's make-up team, Robbi O'Quinn and Leanne Morrison, received a Genie Award nomination for Best Makeup at the 30th Genie Awards.[4]
