Netflix’ newest release Dumplin’ is a heartwarming look into the mid-Texan pageant world and Willow-dean Dixon’s mission to show the pageant world that anyone can be a pageant Queen.
The movie is based on the book by Julie Murphy and tells the story of an overweight girl who’s mother is a former pageant queen and now runs the pageant contest in their area. Willow-dean was raised mostly by her now dead auntie and has no interest in the pageant world until she finds out her aunt had planned to compete the year that her mother had won. Willow-dean, along with a bunch of misfit friends, enters the pageant and breaks the stereotype.
Jennifer Aniston gives a standout performance as Willow-dean’s mother Rosie and also produced the film. Dumplin’ once again proves that Netflix Original Movies are becoming more and more popular with big celebrities and are continuing to produce great films.
The soundtrack of the film is provided by Dolly Parton’s greatest hits, if you didn’t like Dolly before, you certainly will after watching this movie. The typewriter intro of 9-5 gives the movie that southern female sass it provides in bucketloads.
This movie will make you laugh out-loud, sing along and cry along with the characters. It is a heartwarming timeless movie and will appeal to all ages.
