It's formulaic, sentimental and the cast list includes Selena Gomez. But it's also one of this summer's most enjoyable lightweight comedies. Jun 26, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Is "The Fundamentals of Caring" overly heartwarming? No. It's a road trip movie that starts off well enough but eventually becomes very forced and hard to take seriously. Aug 22, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
