The movie in question is Fighting with My Family. The 2019 biographical sports comedy-drama featuring a star-studded cast that includes Florence Pugh and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson started streaming on Tubi on September 1st. The movie is based on a 2012 documentary called The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family and depicts the career of professional wrestler Paige/Saraya. Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, she and her brother Zak get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE.
Why You Should Watch Fighting with My Family
With a “Certified Fresh” critics’ score of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, Fighting with My Family is a top five highest-rated movie for both Pugh and Johnson, and it’s easy to see why. The movie benefits from an exceptionally strong and authentic script from Stephen Merchant about a family-focused sports story that is equal parts comedy, drama, and heartwarming moments. A crowd-pleasing and inspirational movie that wrestling fans and general audiences alike can enjoy, the film finds a good balance in shining a spotlight on the glitz and glam of the WWE and a feel-good underdog story.
Script aside, we also can’t talk about Fighting with My Family without mentioning the excellent performances from its cast. Released ahead of her Oppenheimer, Dune: Part Two, and Black Widow blockbuster days, Pugh’s endearing and tenacious performance as Paige earned her international recognition. In the role, Pugh demonstrates her ability to balance comedic and dramatic elements, and she was widely praised for a flawless and emotionally resonant performance. The rest of the cast, including Johnson, Nick Frost, Lena Headey, and Vince Vaughn, also deliver memorable performances, making Fighting with My Family an extremely compelling and engaging movie.
