Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Fighting with My Family is a hit, according to the first reviews.
Written and directed by Stephen Merchant, it's based on the documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family, which told the true story of WWE superstar Paige, aka Saraya Bevis, her family and their ups and downs.
You might think that it's only for wrestling fans – but you'd be mistaken. Here's what Digital Spy had to say of the film, starring Florence Pugh, Jack Lowden, Lena Headey and Nick Frost:
"Fighting with My Family is just so good-hearted in nature that you can't help but get won over by its charm, however familiar it feels at times. Powered by Pugh's terrific turn, it's an affecting and consistently funny underdog tale. You'll be happy to return to the ring for a rematch."

What to Read Next
"There's something magical about the authenticity and realism that Merchant and his stellar cast – including Nick Frost, Lena Headey, and Florence Pugh, who is brilliant as Saraya AKA Paige – bring to the story of a working class family of wrestlers and their daughter's journey to the big time."
"A handsomely crafted piece produced in part by WWE Studios, the film not so subtly acts as an advertisement for some of wrestling's biggest stars of the last several decades, including the ever effervescent Dwayne Johnson, who cameos as himself.
"Yet what is more remarkable is at its heart, Merchant's movie is better than just a successful hybrid of Hollywood and WWE gloss: it's also an authentically effective biopic about retired WWE star Paige and all those who treat her world of spandex and spray-tans as more than just an amusement. It's their life, and a sweetly celebrated one too."
"A standard underdog-sports movie about a WWE Divas champ gets upgraded thanks to a fireplug performance from Florence Pugh."
"It's about love, hope and dreams. It's a story of a family, with all its quirks and curiosities, drifting apart and pulling together, and for many children in towns up and down the UK and across the globe, it's an inside look at how the dreams they have about one day making it to the top can become reality.
"The movie had me, like the best wrestling matches, on my feet, cheering it across the finishing line. Charming, inspiring, entertaining and fun – let's hope we get a second round."
Fighting with My Family is out in US cinemas on February 14 and UK cinemas on February 27.
