5 Reasons You Need To See "The Fundamentals Of Caring"

There are many movies available on Netflix right now. From stand up to horror, it''s obvious that the genres on Netflix are almost endless. Out of all of these movies, there is one that everyone needs to see. Here is a list of reasons why you need to watch "The Fundamentals of Caring" on Netflix right now!

1. It's funny

"Bite of the James! Hm? Isn't that what they say in your country? Little bite of the James shall we!"

"The Fundamentals of Caring" is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a very long time. Trevor (Craig Roberts), the wise cracking British teen with cerebral palsy, and Ben (Paul Rudd), the smart ass caregiver, are a lovable duo that had me cracking up throughout the movie. At first, I was uncomfortable with the both of them making jokes about Trevor's condition, but I soon began to appreciate the dark humor.

2. It encourages adventure

Dot: Trev, what would you do in that situation?

Trevor: Oh, I'd most likely shit myself.

Ben: And I most likely would have to clean it up.

For fun, Trevor will sit in front of the TV all day watching a travel TV show, marking down all the places he wants to visit, even though he knows that if he leaves his house and goes off schedule it could be the end of him. Ben decides he will bring Trevor to all these places even if that means risking Trevor's life. The movie takes you on this incredible road trip with the two of them to the world's largest cow and hole, all the while picking up random people at a diner and on the side of the road.

3. Peaches

One word says it all! In my opinion, Peaches (Megan Ferguson) is the most adorable character in the whole movie! We meet Peaches as she is stranded on the side of the road on her way to visit her mom before she gives birth. Once you get past her mysterious stare, you will come to love her awkwardness, and accept that she's just a sweetheart that cares about everyone.

4. Who doesn't love Selina Gomez and Pauot only that but, Dot is actually kind of a bad ass in the movie. She runs away from her dad at home and for some reason thinks it's okay to go on a road trip with two random guys. Paul Rudd, behind all the jokes he makes, sadly has a tragic back story in this film giving you more respect for his character.

5. This ones a tear jerker

Like I said in my last reason, Paul Rudd's character, Ben, has a tragic back story in the film leaving you in tears when the full story is finally revealed. Not only that but, the movie constantly reminds you about Trevor's condition and that any moment something could go terrible wrong. This movie is a reminder that life is short and that you should go out and live it without letting anything stop you, whether it be your dad, a broken down car, a wheel chair, or a rough past.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
