Aussie boy's thoughts
Even without its hysterical source of dark humour, Rob Burnett’s film is delightful, gleaming, quirky and much more than just a simple road trip. There’s many elements to class this movie as a must-watch comedy-drama. It all starts with the comical position placed in several spots, before moving towards the acting and story in general.
A disabled teenager participating in a smooth road trip with his caregiver, alongside several dramatic and hilarious events definitely appears as average. Despite the typical storyline, The Fundamentals of Caring is actually a super fun and hopeful film. Watch this film not only for its touching themes and connectable characters, but for it’s amount of catchy dark humour. There’s pranks, laughs and friends.
Another thing the film manages to include in order to classify itself as a heartfelt story is the presentation of quirky characters performed by Rudd and Roberts. Along with other characters along the way, Roberts and Rudd are magnificent together! They manage to portray the bright and gloomy humour in a way that makes the film a very moving and passionate surprise.
