Chick Fight

Anna Wyncomb's life has come apart all at once. Her mother has died, her father has announced he is gay, and she has burned down her own coffee shop, leaving her broke and at risk of losing her apartment. Her best friend Charleen pushes her toward an underground fight club run by and for women, hoping it will pull her out of her slump. Anna quickly learns she is outmatched by the club's established fighters, particularly the tough Olivia, and turns to a washed-up former trainer, Jack Murphy, for help. She also finds that her own connection to the club's past runs deeper than she expected.

Chick Fight is an American action comedy with dramatic elements, released in November 2020 and running 98 minutes. It was directed by Paul Leyden from a screenplay by Joseph Downey, with Malin Åkerman, Ash Christian and Anne Clements producing. Åkerman plays Anna, alongside Bella Thorne, Dulcé Sloan, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Nash and Alec Mapa. It was Leyden's first feature as director, ahead of R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned in 2022.

Reception was modest. On IMDb the film holds 4.8/10 from around 4,900 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 5.8/10 from roughly 237 votes. A critics' rating of 4.7/10 from 29 reviews places professional response close to the IMDb audience figure and below the smaller TMDB sample.
