I’m a wresting fan and a fan of Stephen Merchant, so when I heard he was directing a movie about WWE superstar Paige I was intrigued. Stephen Merchant and wrestling, wrestling and the co-creator of The Office, sounds like a strange combination. The result is a Rocky-like underdog story that is funny, heartfelt, and accessible to those who are not wrestling fans. Wresting fans familiar with the story of Paige may be annoyed by the compression of time and the liberties taken to emphasize her outsider persona, but nevertheless, Fighting with My Family is a great movie with great performances from the actors. The Blu-ray A/V quality is great and there is a fair amount of bonus features as well. The highlight is Stephen Merchant’s very informative audio commentary.

I had saw the film in theaters and what a major surprise the film was what i did not expect. This is one of the best movies of the year with a true story that is very heartwarming, as well as the comedy was spot on i could watch this movie with many rewatches, this movie is a highly recommendation and you do not need to get into wrestling in order to see this movie. however for those who love great story with a great message this true story will inspire you.

I’m an older WWE fan and women’s wrestling was pretty much a joke as a kid. Paige was just....different. She didn’t look like the others and the movie really does a good job telling her story. Paige is my fav womens wrestler and this movie does her justice.

A dramedy centered around the true story of siblings aspiring for WWF game sounds like ‘movie of the week’ fodder. And it is kind of. The charm of the writing, performances, and heart behind the characters makes this something a little more special.

I was very impressed with how well this movie turned out. If you’re a fan of wrestling or just a fan of a good Underdog movie, this is perfect for you!! It has a very good, solid cast with a great storyline to back it all up!! Great movie, and does have a few funny parts as well!!
