Family 2019
- Director: Stephen Merchant
- Based on the book: no
- Cast: Florence Pugh, Lena Headey, Nick Frost, Jack Lowden, Dwayne Johnson, Vincent Vaughn
- Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
- Lena Headey – Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Brothers Grimm, The Remains of the Day, Spender
- Nick Frost – Doctor Who, The World’s End, Attack the Block, The Boat that Rocked, Hot Fuzz, Kinky Boots, Shaun of the Dead, Black Books

- Why? A British comedy (I thought)
- Seen: 18 April 2020
They actually mean fighting. As in
wrestling. Mum (Headey), Dad (Frost), daughter Raya (Pugh) and son Zak
(Lowden). A wrestling family in Norwich. People think they’re weird.
They struggle to make ends meet in their
unusual profession. Then Raya gets a big break.
It’s not a comedy at all. There’s a lot
of heartache in it. It’s a true story and there’s a tear in my eye at the end.
Me, and wrestling really, really is not my thing.
