The Film Stage -
It’s only frustrating that however funny Fundamentals is, the dynamic is something we’ve seen many times before.

Entertainment Weekly -
Caring may be fundamental, but it never quite feels necessary.
|
|
|
Village Voice -
As in Ant-Man, there's lots of shopworn redemption-plotting to get through here, and a sense that the filmmakers find the kind of jobs actually available to Americans a little beneath someone as twinkly-cute as Paul Rudd. But — also like in Ant-Man — the pleasures of Rudd overpower the programmatic elements.

The A.V. Club -
The Fundamentals Of Caring is about as generic as indie dramedies come. (It even has ukulele on the soundtrack.) That doesn’t make it a bad movie—the cast all turn in convincing performances, and the dialogue is occasionally quite clever—but it doesn’t make it a memorable one either.

Variety -
Solid performances and some genuinely sharp humor elevate writer-director Rob Burnett’s second feature.
