Critics Consensus: Much like the sport it celebrates, Fighting with My Family muscles past clichés with a potent blend of energy and committed acting that should leave audiences cheering.

Both an offbeat comedy and classically rousing underdog tale, this indie film's heart somehow exceeds the size of Dwayne Johnson's bulging biceps.
Plenty of family comedies include some grappling, but there's just one I can think of that boasts a piledriver.
Within the context of a sport that thrives on artifice, writer-director Stephen Merchant spins a story whose emotions feel entirely genuine.
It's often broadly funny but never mean or patronizing; it takes the Knights, their eccentricities and quixotic aspirations seriously, but not enough to squelch the fun.
It's a compelling and likable cast (Frost, in particular, is a standout), and Merchant keeps the film, for all its sports-movie clichés, mostly lively, good-hearted and consistently funny.
What's surprising is how well all of this suplex-to-nuts biopic works...[but] see it for Florence Pugh's fireplug turn.
The Rock uncovers a heartfelt, offbeat, and crowd pleasing story of the rise of WWE's wrestling superstar Paige. It's a winner.
Written and directed by Stephen Merchant with humor and sensitivity, Fighting with My Family is about grit but also about acceptance.
The story, which is humbly well told and good-humored, if familiar, is enjoyable enough not to write the film off.
The movie numbers among its producers Mr. Dwayne Johnson, himself a wrestler of some renown before falling on hard times and being forced to take a day job (which includes a recurring cameo role here).
An entertaining introduction to the world of WWE - both behind the scenes and its fandom. Dwayne Johnson and Vince Vaughn do a lot of the heavy lifting here, and do it well!
Merchant manages to keep the laughs coming and the story interesting, and the casting is immaculate.
