'The Fundamentals of Caring' Trailer: Paul Rudd & Selena Gomez Take Emotional Road Trip

Rob Burnett’s “The Fundamentals of Caring” follows Ben (Paul Rudd), a retired writer who becomes a personal caregiver after suffering a tragedy. His first client is Ben (Craig Roberts), a profane 18-year-old with muscular dystrophy who leads a very regimented life. Together, they take an impromptu road trip to visit the “lamest roadside attractions” that the United States has to offer. Along the way, they pick up a runaway (Selena Gomez) and a soon-to-be mother (Megan Ferguson) who help the pair embrace life-changing experiences outside their wheelhouse and learn about the true meaning of friendship and hope in the face of terrible odds. Watch the trailer for the film above.
