The Fundamentals of Caring

Rarely does a movie snag me hook line and sinker like this one did. I was ready for something shallower and much less impressive, and found myself engrossed, in love with the characters and rooting for them as they navigate their shared journeys of self discovery. The story is surprisingly layered, and the performances natural and nuanced, to the point where I found myself quite emotionally involved. Heatwarming and refreshing - a great feel-good road movie with surprising depth.

I am not usually into drama/comedy films i'm more of a horror girl but i love selena gomez so i have this a try, and boy i'm glad i did. this is such a heartfelt hilarious brilliant film and every cast member makes the film even better. i'm so happy i watched it and would 100% recommend it

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

Great movie! I was really impressed with the cast. Well acted movie with a great story. I wasn't expecting much from Selena Gomez, but she did a great job. One of the best roles I've seen Paul Rudd in! Craig Roberts did an amazing job as well. The chemistry with all of the characters was there and it made you care about them. Great drama/comedy.

The Fundamentals of Caring is a good film. I've never seen Paul Rudd in a drama before, but he surely did nail this role. His character is a caretaker for children, and he starts caring for a handicapped boy who shares his thoughts about family. I've never seen a Netflix Original movie, excluding Calibre, that I can actually call: "worth your time". Selena Gomez is also in the movie. Although her character is a little aggravating and hard to like, she does fulfill her character arcs and grows from a broken and traumatized person, to a fixed and light-hearted person in the end. This goes for all the characters In the film as well. I also admire how this film is based on a novel, and has no narrator. Films like Ready Player One and The Kissing Booth, have unnecessary narration. The Fundamentals of Caring does not have this though, which makes it more subtle and easier to love. This film is definitely worth the watch and I'm giving it a 7/10.
