-2 Extreme caution for older teenagers and adults.FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY is the often comical story of the WWE pro-wrestling league’s first female superstar wrestler, and how she and her family struggled yet held together in loving support during her arduous rise to fame. FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY has a strong moral worldview that’s pro-family and that extols hard work, but it’s marred by foul language and crude comments, as well as very frequent over-the-top (but not bloody or graphic) wrestling style violence.
