The Fundamentals of Caring

A movie packed with just as many smiles as tears. Perfectly balanced, not over done. Didn't realize I'll love this movie this much, before watching it.

Highly recommended.

Great character development ... solid life takeaways and you felt entertained the whole time . I was engaged and wanting to know where it was taking the plot .

The dynamic between the two main characters was believable and powerful. Bromance is such a great theme for any movie . I actually loved Selena Gomez in this . You left feeling good .

A bit too much crude humor but besides that a solid film .

I love a good movie especially when I have no expectations. I sat down with my kids and was just so surprised by how good this movie really was.

I don't write reviews, but felt I simply had to for this one.

It was pure entertainment from start to finish wonderfully funny and just restored a little bit of faith in the guild of acting and humanity.

If you are in the mood for an up beat feel good movie with a lot of laughs this is a pleasantly easy watch, that the whole family can enjoy.

Well done and thank you.

Absolutely nothing like real life, but makes you feel good and that's okay by me...

The Fundamentals of Caring is a great movie with a very well developed plot and a terrific cast. It deals with a lot of heavy issues, but manages to handle it in a way that is very tame and is never too much for its audience, such as disabilities and the main character having lost his child. It balances out comedy and drama incredibly well, it has moments that had me snickering, as well as moments that brought a tear to my eye, and I never felt like either was overbearing.

I was not, however, very fond of Dot and her contribution to the plot i have absolutely no problem with Selena Gomez' performance, I just did not care for the character, she felt like an unnecessary love interest in a movie that really would have been more powerful without one. I preferred the portion of the road trip that was just Ben and Trevor, and probably would have given it a nine, rather than an eight, had it remained that way.

The highlight of the movie had to be the undeniable chemistry between Paul Rudd and Craig Roberts, their characters relationship is a pleasure to watch and see develop. It is sweet and pure, some of the best acting I have ever seen from Rudd, certainly the most subtle and realistic, while Roberts has terrific characterisation in his part, as well as some stellar comedic dialogue that he delivers immensely well.

It is a heartwarming 90 minutes that brought a smile to my face. Dramatic, but never too much to handle, and very funny, The Fundamentals of Caring is worth the watch for anyone looking for a good comedy drama.

A carer is put up to the tasked of taking after a boy with a special illness. When he finds out how long it has been since he has been out of the house, he decides to take him on a road trip.

Best Performance: Paul Rudd
