A funny and entertaining rags-to-riches tale.
Damon Smith, The Irish News, 27th February 2019Film review: Fighting With My Family
Five minutes in, I was already smiling -- and it never let up. This is a feel-good Brit comedy with a heart the size of Giant Haystacks.

"I spent a fortune on dating. It's expensive."
Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 27th February 2019Fighting With My Family review
Fighting With My Family manages to be both hilarious and moving by turns.
Mark Harrison, Den Of Geek, 27th February 2019Fighting With My Family review
Look, this is never going to be anybody's choice for film of the year, but if you're looking for a slice of undemanding fun, and a genuinely heartwarming conclusion, you could do a lot worse.
Philip Caveney, Bouquets & Brickbats, 26th February 2019Fighting With My Family review
Fighting With My Family is in many ways as generic a film of this type as you can get. However, with a large focus on the family dynamic that acts as the driving force for the characters' motivations and a large helping of good humour, it's nonetheless hugely entertaining.

Jay Richardson, Chortle, 22nd February 2019Fighting With My Family review
With a female character learning how to perform exactly as a leering, boorish, male-dominated crowd demand, success has rarely seemed so undesirable.

"When Dwayne Johnson goes in front of a wrestling crowd it's like Elvis has come on - it's insane."
