"How would you wipe my ass?" is not a question asked at every job interview, but it is in the Netflix adaptation of Jonathan Evison's enthusiastically praised 2012 novel, The Revised Fundamentals of Caring.
The Boston Globe critic, in fact, raved that the book reminded him of "Little Miss Sunshine meets Rain Man." The New York Times insisted the work was "infused with a sad rage that makes good comedy great," and the La Weekly added that here was "a literary version of a good grunge song."
Rob Burnett, who served as the executive producer of Late Night with David Letterman for two decades, wrote and directed this celluloid reworking of the tome, apparently a project dear to his heart. The result is a highly engaging yet rather familiar road movie. Two self-involved souls with rather enormous personal problems jump into a van to visit the biggest manmade hole in America,...

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit the interwebs. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
Aferim! (Radu Jude)
Leave it to a Romanian director to make a movie that best expresses the dangers of the dyed-in-the-wool mindset of modern America. Culled partly from historical documents, Aferim! is a twisted history lesson whose messages transcend its insular time period of 19th-century Romania. Its story concerns Constable Costandin (Teodor Corban) and his son, Ionita (Mihai Comanoiu), who chase after a wanted Gypsy slave...

The expansion of original productions by Netflix continues, with the Original Netflix film, The Fundamentals Of Caring – for which we now have a new trailer. The movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and will shortly make its debut on the streaming platform. It is notable for being the highest profile film project yet undertaken by writer-director Rob Burnett, who was a producer and writer on The Late Show With David Letterman for over 1000 episodes.
The Fundamentals Of Caring is based on the 2012 novel by Jonathan Evison – The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving – and is essentially a road-trip movie, starring Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Craig Roberts (Bad Neighbors) and Selena Gomez (Bad Neighbors 2).
“The Fundamentals of Caring follows Ben, a retired writer who becomes a caregiver after suffering a personal tragedy. After 6 weeks of training, Ben meets his first client, Trevor, a foul-mouthed 18-year-old with muscular dystrophy. One paralyzed emotionally,...

Netflix recently released the trailer for its upcoming movie The Fundamentals of Caring. It has all the staples of an indie flick — road trip, bonding, quirky characters, a soundtrack that you'll openly hate but secretly download, etc. — but really, does it matter what the movie is about if it stars Paul Rudd? Based on the novel of the same name by Jonathan Evison, The Fundamentals of Caring stars Rudd as a retired writer turned caregiver to a disabled teenager (Craig Roberts). The two, alongside runaway teenager Dot (Selena Gomez) embark on a road trip to find the world's lamest attractions. The Fundamentals of Caring premiered at Sundance Film Festival where Netflix bought distribution rights. The movie premieres on Netflix on June 24th. You can watch the trailer below.

Closing the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, The Fundamentals of Caring follows Craig Roberts’ wheelchair-bound teenager and his carer, played by Paul Rudd. Coming from writer-director Rob Burnett, adapting Jonathan Evison’s The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, Netflix picked up the film before its premiere and ahead of a June release, the first trailer has now landed.
We said in our review,”Roberts especially shines as Trevor, continuing his vein of sardonic types he played before in his breakout film, Richard Ayoade’s Submarine. His performance is not about physicality (The Theory of Everything this isn’t), but Burnett’s deadpan script fits his quick-witted delivery like a glove. Rudd is good value as Ben, believably wracked by guilt over his son but also a great foil to Roberts’ bitterness.”
Check out the trailer below for the film also starring Selena Gomez, Jennifer Ehle, Megan Ferguson, and Frederick Weller.

Follow all of our Sundance 2016 coverage. The first half of The Fundamentals of Caring is a breathlessly witty, almost flawlessly executed comedy starring two very funny men with excellent rapport. If the film had stopped at the 45-minute mark, and if the rest of it had then ceased to exist for some reason (gypsy curse?), forcing me to review only the first half, well, that would have been a glowing review, let me tell you. The second half is still funny, but it’s hindered by some baffling, disappointing story choices that threaten to upend the whole thing. What began as an appealing two-character story gets loaded with extraneous, wacky side characters who bring their own subplots with them, cluttering up our perfectly good comedy. (One of them is a pregnant woman. You know what happens when you add an unnecessary pregnant woman to your movie? You also add an unnecessary childbirth scene!) Based...

Films centered around disabled people often focus on the inevitable demise of their main characters. Not so in the bracingly optimistic road movie The Fundamentals of Caring, a witty and at times very funny bromance between Craig Roberts’ wheelchair-bound teenager and his carer, a perfectly-cast Paul Rudd. Writer-director Rob Burnett, adapting Jonathan Evison’s The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, finds nuggets of comedy in the blindspots in your typical accounts of degenerative diseases.
Rudd’s Ben is a former writer who, after a tragedy involving his son, decides to change track and become a $9-an-hour carer. His first client is potty-mouthed Trevor, a Brit with muscular dystrophy and a caustic humor who throws insults like confetti. At first, Trevor hates leaving his living room and the American TV he watches so much. But when his single mother needs to travel to Atlanta on business, he warms to the idea of...

Following the release of the Ant-Man teaser trailer from Marvel Studios, it was announced that Paul Rudd would lead an adaptation of The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, based on Jonathan Evison's novel of the same name. The story follows the touching friendship of Ben Benjamin (Rudd) and a young adult stricken with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. And now one of the supporting stars has been cast, as Deadline reports Selena Gomez has landed the female lead in the film, but it's not the young adult with a disease. Instead, she's playing Dot, a sassy young woman who hitches a ride with the pair during a road trip. The role of the teenage Trevor, who is in the advanced stages of the disease, has yet to be cast, but his character develops a crush on Dot due to her forwardness and lack of embarrassment about Trevor’s condition.

You may have seen Paul Rudd questioning the viability of his heroic moniker in yesterday’s Ant-Man teaser trailer, but he’s aiming to do something very different for a future film. Rudd has signed on to The Revised Fundamentals Of Caregiving.Though it sounds like a training manual for medical professionals, it’s actually an adaptation of Jonathan Evison’s novel, which TV writer/producer Rob Burnett is overseeing and will direct. The story sounds a little like 2011’s The Intouchables, in that it finds someone helping another with medical challenges. In this case, Rudd will be Ben Benjamin, who strikes up a friendship with a young man suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. As the pair bonds, they push each other towards re-engaging in life and discover that they both have something to learn. There’s the chance it could fall into the mawkish sentimentality trap, but hopefully Rudd...

At a glance, the title – The Revised Fundamentals Of Caregiving - reads like an instructional manual. However, it’s actually a keenly observed dramedy novel in the vein of Matthew Quick’s fictional offerings. So, bearing that comparison in mind, it’s no wonder that the film rights were snapped up and development is now on track with the addition of its first cast member, Paul Rudd. Yep, Ant-Man’s taking the fantasy down a notch for this quirky indie.
