Best movie of this year hands down!

What a waste of my time!!!

How sad is this?

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

There are very few movies I feel as if I could watch repeatedly and actually enjoy every single time. This is one of them. It never fails to make me laugh out loud multiple times, and to feel as if I've experienced something special when the credits roll. The cast is simple but expertly and brilliantly but together. The chemistry between them is lovely, and the story they paint is something everyone deserves to see. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Movies like this do not come along every day. A movie that can send you through a myriad of emotions and make you think about the world while at the same time make you laugh your head off. I have never seen tragedy and humor blended together so well. I am a huge Paul Rudd fan and I really feel that this is his best role so far. Many people know him as a comedian but his serious acting is also amazing. You will see a blend of both in this movie. The chemistry between Ben, Trevor and Dot was amazing, I loved every second of it and I didn't want it to end. The addition of Peaches, the pregnant woman was a little confusing to me and I questioned her relevance until the scene where she is giving birth and we finally see the full flashback of the tragedy that befell Ben's son. We simultaneously see his son's life coming to an end while this new life is beginning. I felt that the movie lost its momentum once Peaches arrived and when they confronted Trevor's father. The actor they chose for him was an odd choice, was he supposed to appear mentally challenged or was he just a jerk? And Trevor's mom did not appear to be the coddling type, I thought it was strange that she would have written him those letters.I was sorry to see Dot go off with her father but I was glad that Trevor got to experience a normal life and romance, however brief it was. I like to decide that he sees her again and that they perhaps ultimately end up together somehow. I did not really like that Ben resigned as his caregiver two weeks after their epic ordeal, but I guess what Trevor said about Ben trying to find redemption through him was true. I guess the point is that they stay in each other's lives. It is beautiful that he lost his son and essentially gains Trevor to replace that connection. I did not like that Ben told Peaches that having children is literally the only reason we are all here. I do not feel that is true and I feel that the movie even realizes that in the end. The point of us all being here is clearly human connection, not just between parents and children, connections of love and understanding between ANYONE. I would have personally liked to have seen more backstory between Ben and his seemingly heartless wife after the accident and more clarity on the accident itself. Ben seemed to blame himself for what happened but it seemed to be a freak accident. Was it really his fault, or was something wrong with that car? It looked like the gear shift was shaky and that he had put the emergency brake on too. So I don't really understand how that ended up happening.It was beautiful how all of them had suffered in some way on their own and how together they filled in "the deepest pit" that was in each of their hearts. I think the point was to show how beautiful life can still be even amidst all the unexpected sorrow.

The Fundementals of Caring is a hilarious and heart warming film that shows insight into the fact that you cannot provide proper care for some one with out in turn loving them, as well as the idea that the best way to help yourself is through helping others. I truly enjoyed the mystery of what happened to his son carried through out the film, leaving us to feel the whole gravity of his death hangover is while another child was being born. The parallels of life and death making the moment all the more intense. Altogether this films delicate balance of comedy and drama kept you on your toes, you'd be rolling on the floor one minute and on the brink of tears and just before you'd start to cry you'd be laughing again.

Where to start? The stars are for Craig who did his best with poor material, but not sure what a Welsh lad was playing at with an accent that seemed all over the place. Mother - accent and attitude grated from the first line she spoke - why not get an English actor or just let her be American by changing the plot a little, doubt it would have made any difference. I gave up 22 minutes before the end, when the second "road trip" character made an awkward appearance and the dialogue between her and Rudd was so stiff and unconvincing I just couldn't bear to continue watching. The "caring" by Rudd was totally unprofessional, and downright abusive at times, always deciding what Trev was going to do, never seemed caring. Manhandling a patient in this day and age?? Apparently it's supposed to be a comedy - had a little chuckle at the cheesy start in the classroom with the acronym. From then on all downhill, NOT funny just dropping in a naughty word now and again and joking about ass wiping. I think they missed an opportunity to have a fart scene with cigar-smoking Selena letting rip... (oh how hilarious, what a character that girl is) Maybe they did, after I switched off... I expect the pregnant woman didn't get through the whole journey with baby inside. I don't care what happened with Trev's dad. Waste of time.
