With starry Texas nights, red candy suckers, and Dolly Parton songs, Dumplin' is guaranteed to steal your heart.
Self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean Dickson (dubbed Dumplin' by her former beauty queen mom) has always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her all-American-beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked . . . until Will takes a job at Harpy's, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn't surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back.
Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Teen Blue Bonnet beauty pageantalong with several other unlikely candidatesto show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any girl does. Along the way, she'll shock the hell out of Clover Cityand maybe herself most of all.
