Directed by Anne Fletcher, DUMPLIN’ follows an outspoken plus-sized teenage girl named Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald), who’s known as Will to her friends and Dumplin’ to her mother (Jennifer Aniston), a former beauty queen who now runs the local Miss Teen Blue Bonnet pageant. In her small Texas town, Will confidently ignores comments about her weight and listens to Dolly Parton songs obsessively. But when she decides to enter her mother’s pageant in protest, her bold move encourages other contestants to follow in her footsteps, redefining the town’s traditions in the process.

It's worth looking for the Jimmy Kimmel episode last week with Dolly Parton in which Dolly says her husband was hoping for a 3 way with Jennifer Aniston. Not a big fan of Kimmel but he lost it...

I only made it about halfway through. I'm definitely not the target demographic, but I thought it would be funnier. It's like an Afterschool Special with the typical "be yourself" message.
