Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Fundamentals of Caring (2016)

Ben is a writer living in a fog after the accidental death of his son. He’s lost both his wife and his will to write, so decides to train to be a caregiver. His first post is caring for Trevor, a young man with Muscular Dystrophy. Though in possession of a wicked sense of humor, Trevor lives his life by pattern. So, Ben decides to break the pattern and, possibly, out of the rut they're both in.

It’s one of those “redemption by roadtrip” movies that works sheerly on the strength of the two stars. Nothing groundbreaking, but it’s enjoyable nonetheless.
