Four working class women employed in a neighbourhood supermarket take up wrestling (le catch) as a show of solidarity for one of their coworkers who is trying to win back her son's affection. Featuring hilarious physical comedy and spunky female characters indulging in the thrills of mock violence and comic super heroine costumes, this is a classic underdog comedy with a twist as women appropriate the usually male-dominated wrestling ring. Nathalie Baye is terrific as the under-appreciated mother, André Dussollier fulminates as their comeback coach, and the other three principals Marilou Berry, Audrey Fleurot, and the goth butcher Corinne Masiero are all marvellous. Lots of laughs and a heart-warming story.
