When novels turn into a movie it may say thousand different things from that original plots, or sometimes it breaks the entire picturisation that we might have created in our head.
Well! When Jonathan Evison's novel digitally portrayed by Robert Burnett, it became a symbol of true art.
The Fundamentals of Caring is a comedy-drama film about an out of work writer who becomes a disabled teen's caregiver after a personal tragedy. When the two embark on an impromptu road trip, their ability to cope is tested as they start to understand the importance of hope and friendship.
The film focuses on the themes of grief, and coping mechanism, the difficulty of caregiving, the importance of moving on and finding peace through human relationships. It's a poignant narrative that tugs at your heart and also a dark comedy which can make you smile.
Paul Rudd as the writer/caregiver and Craig Roberts as the teen suffering from muscular dystrophy are brilliant. His acting is always on top notch. What a brilliant performer.
It is a very sweet, happy, funny and heartwarming story which will definitely leave you with a smile and a happy heart.
