Synopsis
This heartwarming underdog story brings the life of WWE superstar Paige to the big screen. Paige and her brother Zak are the children of a British wrestling family. All they want in life is to compete as part of the WWE. The starry-eyed young talents get a chance to try out, but only Paige makes the cut. Can she command the spotlight and stay true to her dream without the immediate support of friends or family? She might — with help from The Rock, played by none other than Dwayne Johnson himself.
This true to life comedy comes from celebrated director/writer/producer Stephen Merchant. Florence Pugh captures Paige’s heart and determination as Fighting With My Family celebrates the unique personality and tenacity that ultimately carried her to the top of her game.

Dwayne Johnson is the perfect person to play The Rock. They look so much alike! I always tell my mom.

laurenFeb 21, 2019it is really baffling that it just goes from “training” to “you’re on the main roster now” when there was a Paige match on the inaugural Takeover that directly sparked the beginning of the Women’s Revolution. even more baffling that there’s no mention of her being the first…

Wanted to support Stephen Merchant by seeing this film in theaters. There's much of Merchant's humor to admire here but ultimately the film becomes a WWE Studios advert with too many on-the-nose monologues and situations. But the cast gives it their all (Florence Pugh…

Florence Pugh has RANGE and an unbelievable ability to just transform into any character/person she puts her mind to. I honestly love biopics when they’re done right, and this one is no exception. This movie is such an easy watch, you will never get bored. It’s v witty and fun
Jen lovedFighting with My FamilyWhat a great movie. Even if you aren’t a wrestling fan this movie is enjoyable. It’s a story about a woman who comes from a wrestling family and her struggle and journey to join the WWE. Paige helped bring credibility to the women’s division and it’s a great story to watch!
Zoe lovedFighting with My FamilyI thought this was supposed to be a comedy but here I am crying multiple times. It’s a movie that’s very much about learning how to reconcile who you are with who you want to be and that just because your dreams didn’t come true doesn’t mean you’re not successful!!

I’m not even joking I’ve seen every emotion in the excistince of emotions come up in this movie and the anxiety, being scared to disappoint people, the rage, the happiness. The supportive side of the family But also the actual fights jn the family I loved itttttt
Trevor Coyle likedFighting with My FamilyWas pretty average for another wwe made movie. But the cast was pretty good with Florence pugh nick frost Vince Vaughn and the rock. I again didn’t know this was a based on true events movie but I didn’t mind it. Good for a wwe movie

Charming and surprisingly grounded. Florence Pugh nails the role with vulnerability and grit. The film balances heart and humor well, even for non-wrestling fans. An emotional, inspiring underdog tale with a beating heart.

JIJerome III was expecting to not like this, but was pleasantly surprised. it wasn't great but it was a good film that'll be a TBS staple in a few years. I didn't realize it was based on a true story going in, but I actually remember having tuned in to RAW one night seeing one of…

Merchant is more brutally honest than most sports movies — or any kind of rising-star movie, for that matter — about failure, and it makes Fighting With My Family better than it needs to be. The entire cast is a pleasure, particularly the dynamo Pugh.

Pugh never looks quite at ease in the ring in Fighting With My Family, but her performance is so layered with ambition and self-doubt that the film exceeds its familiar framework.

Fighting with My Family doesn’t pull too many unexpected punches, but as someone who has never watched a split-second of wrestling in their life, the fact that I was engaged with this underdog story is a testament to the success of Merchant’s first solo directing effort.
