‘Fighting With My Family’ Trailer: Florence Pugh Heads To The WWE With The Rock As Her Mentor
Did you ever dream of becoming a professional wrestler when you were a kid? Well, in the new comedyFighting with My Family, British siblings Paige (Florence Pugh) and Zak (Jack Lowden) certainly did, and it’s not something that they’ve given up even as they’ve grown into adults. It just so happens that dreams sometime come true, even in 2018, because they get the call from the WWE to come try out for the big leagues. And they somehow get taken under the wing ofDwayne “The Rock” Johnson. But as theFighting with my Familytrailer shows, they’re not both going to become WWE Superstars.
Fighting with My Family Trailer
We’ve heard almost nothing about this movie at this point, but that makes it that much more surprising. Honestly, as someone who couldn’t give a damn about wrestling and only just found out this was inspired by thetrue story of WWE wrestler Paige, I found myself really enjoying this trailer. At first I thought it was going to be some kind of British version ofFour Christmases, but then it turns into a much better version ofReady to Rumble, likely thanks to the fact that it’s somehow directed byStephen Merchant, the co-writer/co-director of the original British version ofThe Office.
Wrestling fans will surely love seeing Dwayne Johnson back in “The Rock” mode, spouting off the signature catchphrases that used to make arenas cheer for him during his own WWE days. There’s a huge fanbase who turns out for every single wrestling match, and they’ll certainly be heading to theaters to catch what looks like the best movie that WWE Studios has ever made. Yes, even better thanThe Scorpion KingandJingle All the Way 2. Though it might not be better thanOculus(yes, that’s a WWE Studios movie too).
The rest of theFighting with My Familycast includes a few interesting names as well withLena HeadeyandNick Frostplaying Paige and Zak’s parents, andVince Vaughnhaving a role over at the WWE.
Based on a true story, Fighting with My Family follows reformed gangster Ricky, wife Julia, daughter Paige and son Zak as they make a living wrestling together in tiny venues. When Paige and Zak get the opportunity to try out for WWE, the family grabs a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn their wildest dreams into a dazzling future. However, brother and sister quickly discover that to become superstars, both their talent and their relationship will be put to the test. Fighting with My Family is a heartwarming and smart comedy that proves everything is worth fighting for when it comes to family.
