Atom User Reviews for Fighting with My Family
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.
Loved it! A must see, feel good movie!!
I 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…
Even if you don’t watch wrestling you’ll still love this movie!
Was not entertaining at all. Bf slept through whole thing.
I couldn’t go because inappropriate humor.... I wasted money
An emotional story about family and finding oneself.
Great movie definitely see it again and again its that good!
Team Paige!!
Genuinely entertaining
love it
Entertaining throughout the movie and a lot of funny moments, lead actress wasn’t too impressive but this is the only movie I’ve seen her in
Good story with good acting. Started a little slowly but picked up in the second half. I'm not into wrestling and still found it fairly enjoyable.
A funny but also inspiring story. I really enjoyed it.
Movie was amazing! So glad they made it to show how hard Paige fought to get to where she is!
Very inspiring movie, and also a good example of hard it can be to get into the wrestling business
was a good movie better than expected
Really great story telling and great moments of comedy mixed in with good storyline
Movie paced just perfectly to keep my known short attention span..happy inspiring positive ending..worth a watch!
Great movie her life story very interesting seeing the in's & outs of how the WWE works
Paige's story is both tragic and inspiring. Due to not putting WWE in a bad light, you out to watch everything on Paige that the WWE Network has but after watching this film. The real life story is better.
Based on a true story about WWE Dive Paige. Such a great story with great actors. Merchant focused on telling a her story and how she became the youngest female wrestler in the WWE. Merchant did a great job directing. Nice cameos from The Rock, Big Show, The Miz, Sheamus…
This movie had heart and was funny. Loved it
Acting is decent, story is mildly interesting, but script, by Steven Merchant, leaves much to be desired although it might be his directing that’s at the heart of this blown opportunity. Two stars is generous.
Thought would be better showing Paige wrestle more. Got a bit drawn out and has slow moments.
I love Paige’s story and am a huge fan. The movie was great.
awesome movie
Great movie
it was a good movie but any fan who follows WWE would notice that there was some issues with the film. But the backstory was good and overall a good film. I think this would have been a good movie to have on the WWE Network but then again breaking into the main stream to…
I knew nothing about wrestling and thoroughly enjoyed this one.
great movie!
Very enjoyable
It is a must see!
Best movie seen in a while
A great movie based on a true story
A refreshing movie about a struggling family who is far from perfect but loves unconditional! A great story of even when you don't fit in you can find your place and destiny in life! Vince Vaughn was fun to watch and a far different role than he's played before as a…
a cute movie about a girl finding her place
I quite enjoyed the film. inspiring and entertaining.
Great feel-good story!
Best movie of 2019 so far
Our daughter loved it
Entertaining if you are a WWE fan.
Great film! Really enjoyed the film and Florence and DJ were epic in their scene.
It was inspiring and a great movie for friends and family.
Best movie 👍
Excellent funny movie. Has a little bit of everything in it.
enjoyed the movie a lot more than expected.
I love it!
It is worth watching. I and my family really enjoyed it.
I'm not a big fan of comedy, but this offbeat true story about the rise of WWE wrestling's youngest female star was a total hoot! More laugh-out-loud moments than I've seen in a long time. I DO enjoy sports stories, and this, while following the typical "underdog…
Metacritic
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.
