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.
Even if you don’t watch wrestling you’ll still love this 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 the matches.
Loved it! A must see, feel good movie!!
Was not entertaining at all. Bf slept through whole thing.
An emotional story about family and finding oneself.
I couldn’t go because inappropriate humor.... I wasted money
Great feel-good story!
I love Paige’s story and am a huge fan. The movie was great.
Entertaining and funny.

This movie had heart and was funny. Loved it
It didn’t suck .
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.
was a good movie better than expected
I love it!
Genuinely entertaining
a cute movie about a girl finding her place
Great movie
very good movie one of the best of the year so far
Very inspiring movie, and also a good example of hard it can be to get into the wrestling business
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 and others. This is one to watch!
it was good not great. would watch again when it comes out at home. love the ROCK
Movie paced just perfectly to keep my known short attention span..happy inspiring positive ending..worth a watch!
Excellent funny movie. Has a little bit of everything in it.
It is a must see!
Entertaining if you are a WWE fan.
Best movie of 2019 so far
Thought would be better showing Paige wrestle more. Got a bit drawn out and has slow moments.
It was inspiring and a great movie for friends and family.
I loved 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
A great movie based on a true story
I knew nothing about wrestling and thoroughly enjoyed this one.
I quite enjoyed the film. inspiring and entertaining.
awesome movie
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 overcomes and becomes the champ" tropes, throws in some surprises that were both funny and touching. The cast is great--an especially nice job by Vince Vaughn, and some cool cameos from Dwayne Johnson, who, as one of the producers, shows through the film his gratitude to WWE for his ticket into stardom. A fine offbeat sports film with a hilarious and decidedly British take.
Movie was amazing! So glad they made it to show how hard Paige fought to get to where she is!
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.
It is worth watching. I and my family really enjoyed it.
Team Paige!!
Really great story telling and great moments of comedy mixed in with good storyline
Great movie... realistic ...great performances
Great movie definitely see it again and again its that good!
well done. definitely a movie to see!
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.
