Such a frustrating disappointment

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This film has Paul Rudd in the lead so I was interested in watching it, and I have now seen The Fundamentals of Caring and I actually really enjoyed watching this film. The premise of the film sees a man after suffering a personal tragedy becomes a carer for a disabled teenager and try and find himself again. As mentioned Paul Rudd is the lead in this film and he is fantastic in the role. he brings the humour to the role that you would expect but I was particularly impressed with his dramatic work in this film. In the last few years he has improved immensely as an actor and this film is one of his best overall performances. Craig Roberts plays Trevor the teenager Rudd is caring for and he is great in this film, the chemistry and relationship between him and Rudd really drives this film forward and is easily the best part of this film. Selena Gomez is in this film as sort of a romance for Trevor and she does a decent job in this film with a fun attitude bought to this film. However, there are a few characters in this film that were completely unnecessary and just poorly acted that took me out of the film. The story as mentioned before is at its strongest when it focuses on the relationship between Rudd and Roberts and it really develops really well and it is really well handled. Though as mentioned before this film has some elements in it that feels forced and unnecessary to detract from the overall quality of the film. The script is really good, the humour is obviously pretty funny having me laughing quite a lot of times. The drama though was also really well handled and saw me buying into the majority of the dramatic moments in the film. The style of the film could have been mishandled very easily but it is very well done, the mix of humour and drama really works and the pacing makes this film an easy watch. Overall this is a great journey to watch that will have you entertained for the majority and is definitely worth watching.

Paul Rudd plays for him a common role as the unsuccessful person who grows in to new circumstances in his life. He has done it great before in his comic movies and does it in this one as well. This is a heartwarming story about a boy with a disability who uses his sarcastic humor to deal with his situation. Paul Rudd becomes his caretaker with no goal to take it seriously. A special friendship bounds them together circling their special sarcasm and saves them both from the tragic in their lives. It grasps your interest from the start and continues to build it up trough the whole movie. Warmly recommended!

This movie starts off with our special-needs-bad-attitude kid asking the question "how would you wipe my ***." And it ends me saying "well, I would take this movie's cover picture, wipe your *** with it and then put it in your mouth. So my question to you is, 'did the sh*t ever leave the ***hole?'" The philosophical / life questions this movie raises are all sh*t. I don't mean this as an insult. I mean literally every time the characters say something "smart" it is always somehow tied to sh*t, *** or ***holes. Few times to pen**. It goes down your throat in such extend that at some point you start to wish you were watching South Park episode about "The Poo That Took a Pee" just to how less genital / urea related content in your TV. I already early on, after the first ***-related comparison - decided I would not like this movie. As the story advanced, I only came to once again realize that movies can -indeed- be judged in the first minutes. The story felt like a try- hard version of Untouchable without delivering anything except bitterness and bad attitude. More suitable name for this title is The Fukk-a-mentality of Swearing, just because they swear and talk sh*t so much that you find yourself doing the same. I have been temporarily corrupted by this.... sh*t. All in all I can't recommend this movie to anyone else except to those who think swearing is cool or have illogical obsession about ***holes. I mean, who needs thought-provoking, witty or sarcasm when you can just use the worlds ***, f*** and sh*t in so many different orders that it would surprise you. Insert few pen**es so the jokes won't fall SHORT. Nope, still not funny.** I had to censor down a lot of the words because IMDb won't allow me to use the same swear words this movie is filled with. How sad is that. **

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.
