Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, Paige and her brother Zak are ecstatic when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE. But when only Paige earns a spot in the competitive training program, she must leave her loved ones behind and face this new cutthroat world alone. Paige's journey pushes her to dig deep and ultimately prove to the world that what makes her different is the very thing that can make her a star.

Fighting with My Family is a 2019 biographical sports comedy-drama film based on the 2012 documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family by director Max Fisher.  The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 28, 2019, and was released in the United States on February 22, 2019. It received positive reviews and has grossed over $10 million.

Just so you’re aware, you don't need to know the true story background or about the WWE to enjoy this movie. Dwayne Johnson and Vince Vaughn were both really great! Florence Pugh (Paige) gave a wonderful moving performance. NOTE: It was great to see the real family in clips during the end credits……don’t miss that!

If you are a wrestling fan you’re going to love it. However if you’re not and able to see thru the WWE hype you will find great acting, comedy, and a behind the scenes look at the success and failures of hard work and determination. I would recommend this movie to wrestling fans and people who enjoy a good story that has laughs and struggles to go with it.

Worth the price of admission at the theater to see it. Note the Critics and Users percentages……that speaks to this very well done movie.
