Review of Fighting with My Family (2019) by Funkymonk — 06 Mar 2019

It's a well done if slightly predictable "underdog" story. Merchants script is touching without too much schmaltz and quite amusing too. All the performances are solid especially the underrated Nick Frost as the tough but kind hearted father. Pugh is also great as Paige herself getting the balance right between street girl with attitude and insecure outsider. I do wonder if some if Paig's lack of confidence and struggles were overplayed for dramatic effect though as I don't remember her ever faltering on NXT or WWE like she did in the film.

Still, overall it's worth seeing even if you know nothing about wrestling.
