Review of The Fundamentals of Caring (2016) by Hayden B — 24 Jul 2016

I decided to give it a chance, Paul Rudd is in it, so it was worth attempting. With everything going on in this country, this was a refreshing reprieve. It's a simple plot, with a simple mission. It is the actors though, that give the kind of performances that make you connect with them that makes this so delightful.

Every character introduced, for me, was unexciting. I kept waiting for the bad character or bad acting. Instead, just like people, they grew on me. Paul Rudd has always been an amazing actor for me since Clueless, but Selena Gomez, I didn't even know it was her until I looked at IMDb half way through.

For the first time ever, I didn't think she was still a child. Sure her character had a mouth that kept up with guys, but it didn't seem like she was trying to prove a single thing. The chemistry of all the actors, the steadiness of the films progression, and the fricken' ability to get this many actors in one film that all have the ability to convey so much even when they are saying nothing, give it gander.

I suggest giving this Netflix gem 21 minutes of your time, if your not intrigued into finishing it, you probably prefer money making movies over films that display actors showcasing their artistry.
