Konterr Brilliant and touching

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

thebc-86158 Ben Benjamin (Paul Rudd) plays a caretaker of Trevor (Craig Roberts) a teenager with Duschene Muscular Dystrophy (he can't move anything besides his hands and head) as they go on a road trip to see the world's largest pit, despite single mother Elsa's (Jennifer Ehle) warnings, picking up a quirky cast of characters including a rebellious girl who ran away from home named Dot (Selena Gomez) and Peaches (Megan Ferguson), a pregnant woman who's car broke down. The brilliantly comedic and dramatic banter between Rudd and Roberts is amazing and the supporting cast does a great job especially, and surprisingly, Selena Gomez. It's probably the best buddy road trip comedy since Dumb and Dumber though not as stupid and more realistic. 9.5/10 watch it on Netflix now.

Sweetigal85 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.

shopndeals We just watched this on Netflix. It was so well done. We laughed and cried. The acting is superb. Watch this one!

Mckenzie Barkdull-Pugmire 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.
