I'm not sure why this is labeled a comedy, it has a couple of witty lines but is otherwise a drama in my opinion. The storyline is a bit melodramatic, but overall I enjoyed.

Ok film. Lacks the classic kiwi humor I thought it might have
A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful movie
The Legend of Baron To'a is a love letter to wrestling, the relationship fathers and their children, legacy, community and most importantly Tongan culture. I loved the fact that the cast was very diverse, with the only white guy there playing a drop in and out role. This movie is sincere, and funny. And the action is wonderful. Definitely one of the best movies of 2020. If there is any justice in the world, the cast and crew deserves Oscars. But unlikely given the continuing lack of transformation.
Great movie with family action and comedy
Enjoyed the story and cast, great to see our talented maori and pacific islander actors come together for this great movie and the wrestling was awesome. Rock eat your heart out
