Netflix has released the trailer for "The Fundamentals of Caring," an upcoming road-trip dramedy starring Paul Rudd as a newly divorced caregiver who takes his first client, a wheelchair-bound teen (British actor Craig Roberts; from "Submarine"), on a cross-country journey to see America's "lamest roadside attractions." And along the way, they pick up a young sassy hitchhiker (played by pop singer/actress Selena Gomez) while forming a bond of mutual misgivings and desperation.
Acquired by the streaming company at this year's Sundance Film Festival, the movie comes from director and veteran comedy writer Rob Burnett, who has won five Emmys as the executive producer and writer of "Late Show with David Letterman." Burnett also wrote the script based on Jonathan Evison's 2012 novel "The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving."
Co-starring Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty) and Megan Ferguson (FX's The Comedians), "The Fundamentals of Caring" will be made available for streaming on Netflix starting Friday, June 24.
synopsis:
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, one paralyzed physically, Ben and Trevor take an impromptu road trip to all the places Trevor has become obsessed with while watching the local news, including their holy grail: the World's Deepest Pit. Along the way, they pick up a sassy runaway and a mother-to-be who help test the pair's survival skills outside of their calculated existence as they come to understand the importance of hope and true friendship.
