Based on the documentary The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family, is originally funny while being one of the most heartwarming films in the theater.  Saraya, like many people, starts to question her dreams when the reality is tougher than she believed.  She has to change physically and emotionally.  While some women in WWE are not trained wrestlers, they are there for a purpose.  She tries to change her exterior and discover her true self in the process.  This movie is also about Zak finding his real calling in the world of wrestling.  While he won’t go on to the main stage, he is a guiding light.  This movie is honest because it doesn’t have a villain.  Just a real family going through real issues.  And Rick and Julia never hid who they are from anyone.  It’s truly refreshing to see her parent’s openness.  They didn’t find religion but they did find wrestling.  This movie will help you see the beauty in wrestling and family, too.
