We fired up some popcorn and watched Fighting With My Family this evening. It was a good story mostly about the relationship between siblings that have the same goal but only one gets there. But it was billed as a comedy, which I wouldn’t call it that at all. It was produced by Dwayne Johnson but he’s only in four scenes. Stephen Merchant wrote and directed it, and he’s very funny but there wasn’t much funny here. And Vince Vaughn, whose comedy I particularly liked, was in it and frankly had the funniest takes in the whole thing.

So it wasn’t that it was a bad movie. It was a good enough movie told with the backdrop of professional wrestling. But given the people involved in the movie, and the billing of “comedy” we were expecting a very different thing than we got.
