Leave your thoughts about The Fundamentals of Caring.
| The Daily DotChris Osterndorf[Paul] Rudd is the kind of actor that is so innately watchable, with the boyish, ageless good looks of a Tom Cruise, but the everyman likability of a Jack Lemmon, it feels all but impossible at this point for him not to brighten whatever movie he is in. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloUnforgettable, poignant dark comedy has lots of cursing. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfWhile Burnett doesn't provide a full cinematic meal with "The Fundamentals of Caring," he juggles tone surprisingly well, managing to keep the feature afloat where other helmers would fail within the first act. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick MayerAny dramatic tension the film establishes is washed away in an ocean of what Demolition Man once called "joy-joy feelings." |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Josh TerryThe Fundamentals of Caring is a solid buddy movie that uses some genuinely funny moments to underscore a poignant message about friendship and dealing with the cards life has dealt you. |
| The Young FolksDonald Strohman...while it certainly won't win any awards for subtlety, The Fundamentals of Caring boasts a talented cast, sharp wit, and a funny script to liven the buddy road trip genre past its apparent tropes. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasI don't know if Netflix got the best Sundance movie with "Caring." But it may have gotten the most Sundance movie. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA dramedy about a sensitive caregiver and the teenage boy he looks after. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThe Fundamentals of Caring is a strained, overly familiar tale of catharsis and redemption. Stars Paul Rudd and Craig Roberts work hard but are torpedoed by writer-director Rob Burnett’s wanting script (adapted from the novel by Jonathan Evison), thudding stabs at buoyancy and sluggish pacing. |
| The Film StageEd FranklIt’s only frustrating that however funny Fundamentals is, the dynamic is something we’ve seen many times before. |
