Ok, going to preface this review by just saying three things:
1: I needed a good cry movie tonight; I had to get some things out of my system.
2: The rest of this review might not be SFW!

Review:
I needed a good cry movie tonight, and The Fundamentals of Caring did that for me! Actually, Selena Gomez kinda took the movie in a way I wasn’t expecting.Got to give her a lot of props for what she did in it. Was it a great movie? By no means…Does it fill a deep pit in your soul when you need a movie to cry too?…Yes, it absolutely does!
The Fundamentals of Caring is on Netflix now… and if you want to see a trailer you can…..
WAIT…WAIT…WAIT…. I said there was three things in my preface!!
3: fuck you…No, Fuck you…NO…FUCK you!…Now Stand up and take your piss! Stand up and take a PISS!
Told ya, Not all of this review would be SFW!
BTW: Trevor Conklin was handsome and cool……ALOHA!
