The extended wait will be over this February when Stephen Merchant’s feature debut at the helm, Fighting With My Family, hits the big screen. MGM has rolled out the official trailer building off of the reception of the co-star and exec producer Dwayne Johnson’s scene stealing bit in the teaser from this Spring.
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.
Johnson (and whatever his in-ring persona is cookin’ for others to smell) shares the spotlight with a principle cast that lists Florence Pugh, Lena Headey, Nick Frost Jack Lowden, and Vince Vaughn.
