Movie Info & Cast

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.

Saw an early screening. Really funny movie created by Stephen Merchant, one of the creators of The Office. Funny moments throughout mixed with some emotional pieces as well. WWE fans will love it, and anyone else will definitely enjoy too.

Even if you don’t watch wrestling you’ll still love this movie!

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.
