The fact-based story of a tight-knit British family obsessed with the sport of wrestling makes for an entertaining comedy-drama, written and directed by Stephen Merchant.

Saraya-Jade Bevis (Florence Pugh) is inspired by her parents (Lena Headey and Nick Frost), both former wrestlers, and her brother and erstwhile sparring partner (Jack Lowden), to pursue her talent in the ring. Facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, she is invited by the World Wrestling Entertainment empire to compete under the name “Paige.” Although the film’s rough edges, including streetwise cursing and sexual banter, place it out of bounds for younger viewers, an exception might be made for mature adolescents who would benefit from this uplifting picture’s positive messages about perseverance, forgiveness and the bonds of friendship and family.

Occasionally violent wrestling action, an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, drug references, sexual innuendo, some profane and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III — adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 — parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
