Review of Fighting with My Family (2019) by Tvjerry — 07 Mar 2019

This is based on the true story of a British family that loved to wrestle. They put on exhibition matches around the country, but the dream of the brother and sister was to become WWE champions in America.

This starts as a rowdy comedy with enjoyable characters, but once the narrative goes stateside, it becomes an underdog fight drama. The narrative quickly falls into a predictable path and even though it's based on reality, the facts have been compressed, which makes it feel more like a hokey cinematic trope.

Still, it's still a heartfelt little film about a loving family and the unlikely success of one of them. Yes, the Rock does have small part (and is a producer).
