"Fighting with My Family" is a Fun Family Film in the Rings of Prof. Women Wrestling with Dwayne Johnson

The title "Fighting with My Family" literally refers to the Bevis family who take wrestle mania seriously.  They make wrestling the family business and propel their daughter into the wacky, tacky world of professional women wrestlers (WWE).  The Bevis family hail from a quirky "east ender" town in the U.K.  The major characters, director & producers are from the U.K.  Saraya Bevis, a.k.a. Paige (Florence Pugh "Lady McBeth") is one tough & talented wrestler who along with her big brother Zodiac Zac (Jack Lowden "Mary Queen of Scots") dream of making it in the big leagues of prof. wrestling which everyone knows is real; but staged.  Paige's mother is played by Lena Hardy ("Game of Thrones") adding to this royal cast of cast-offs.  The film is directed by Stephen Merchant (b UK 1974) known for co-writing & co-starring with Ricky Gervais in "The Office" and "Extras."  Not all the heavy weight of talent fall from across the pond.  The US is king to wrestling mania and its crown jewel is the "Rock" former professional wrestler a.k.a. A list movie star Dwayne Johnson.   Johnson has parlayed his charisma & strength into comedic starring roles.  Here Johnson found a winning tag team for his wrestling & acting attributes.  Johnson's time on screen is minimal but it all pays off in this biopic spinoff of small town girl making it all the way to the high spot in WWE.  The cliched gimmicks of sister besting brother and seal training work out or drop out in the storytelling still pack the heat.  Thanks to a knockout performance by Pugh as Paige and Vince Vaughn as the tough, fast talking trainer & ticket to stardom promoter, the pay-offs hit high spots.  I think you'll fall hard for this true story of a diminutive dame from the UK who came and conquered.  I don't need to over sell this feel good family film "Fighting with My Family".  This guilty pleasure takes home the prize.
