Review of Fighting with My Family

I saw "Fighting with My Family", starring Florence Pugh-The Commuter, Lady Macbeth_2016; Nick Frost-Into the Badlands_tv, Hot Fuzz; Lena Headey-Game of Thrones_tv, 300 and Vince Vaughn-Hacksaw Ridge, Mr.&Mrs. Smith. This movie is based on a true story about a female wrestler and her wrestling family. Florence plays Saraya Knight, aka Paige. Nick & Lena are her parents, who had a traveling wrestling show in England that they performed in. The whole family wrestled including her 2 brothers-one was in prison for most of the movie for getting into fights-and there were even matches with the parents verses the kids. Vince plays the talent scout for the WWE, aka World Wrestling Entertainment, and when he announces on tv that there will be a new talent cattle call and all newcomers are welcome, Florence and her brother-the one that is not in prison-go for a try out. The movie is written & directed by Stephen Merchant, an actor that has a cameo in the film. There are several wrestling cameos as well. I'm not up on my wrestlers like I used to be but I did recognize Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena, and yes, The Rock is pretty much a cameo role-he has a couple of scenes-not like the previews make you think. As the end credits start, you get a look at the real Knight family. It's rated "PG-13" for violence, drug content, language and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 48 minutes. If you are a wrestling fan, you should enjoy it. I know I did and I would buy it on DVD.
