Une famille sur le ring

With current poltical noise and extreme Winter climes, I chose to go and see this movie. It's hilarious, filled with tender, and endearing moments. Worth the money! Thanks to The Rock!

Even if you aren't a fan of wrestling, this is a film which can be enjoyed by anyone. The central story is very relatable and it's easy to identify with Paige's struggle. I always found Stephen Merchant to be quite funny, however I didn't expect him to have so much talent behind the camera as well, given he wrote and directed the film. He infuses this true story with lots of sharp humor and sweet sincerity. The Rock literally plays himself in the movie, but it's Vince Vaughn who really stands out among a talented cast. Fighting With My Family definitely fights with cliches, but it manages to score a solid pinfall victory.

I do not watch pro wrestling since the 1980s, so I have no idea who Paige is. I saw the movie on cable, and it was very good. I did not know it was based on a real person. The actress who plays Paige is the main reason to watch this movie. She has a lot of good personality, and she makes you feel for her. The supporting cast of her family are less fleshed out, and less convincing, but they are pretty good. A couple of the reviews have pointed out that some things were dragged out a bit much. Like her brother resenting her success for what amounted to years, seemed incredibly petty and pathetic. The success of the neighborhood kids in learning to wrestle was uplifting. There were a lot of positives.

Have sort of been a wrestling fan since I was a teen myself & have watched many of the episodes featuring all the greats including the man himself, Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock! The film was pretty good! Very engaging. funny & entertaining all the way! The actors done well with the roles the were given. Florence Pugh, the main actress who played Paige was gorgeous as! Plenty of eye-candy for us lads sure! The dialogue was good if not a bit cliche & eye rolling in a lot of areas. The British jokes especially... But the film itself was enjoyable & didn't once have a boring un-entertaining part in it. This film overall is a must see for both fans & non fans of the wresting world! 8/10
