Runs 108 minutes

A former wrestler (Nick Frost), his wife (Lena Headey) and their children live in a small town in England and make their living running a wrestling gym and performing for small town crowds. The kids, Saraya (Forence Pugh) and Zak (Jack Lowden) dream of making it big and joining the WWE. When Saraya and Zak are called to try out for NXT wrestling, they see it as their chance to finally make it. Things don't go exactly as planned and soon Saraya, using the stage name of Paige, heads to Florida to train to be a professional wrestler. This leads to "Paige" becoming the youngest Divas champion in the WWE.

This movie is hilarious, heart-warming and based on a true story. This family is probably not like your next-door neighbors, but they love each other just the same. Florence Pugh is a find. She does a fabulous job in all aspects of the role. You will find yourself grunting a few times at the punches and falls she takes. Even if you don't particularly like wrestling, this movie is really good. It is about family and being an underdog. And, it is about hard work. It is also just flat out funny. Vince Vaughn, as the coach who trains "Paige" is very dry and funny. The Rock plays himself. Love him! One word of warning - it is very PG-13. It is not really for younger kids. But, everyone else should go see it! Stick around for the credits. There is an interview with the real family.
