Dumplin'

Willowdean Dickson, a self-confessed obese kid who went by "Dumplin" after her mother, a former beauty queen, has always felt comfortable in her own flesh. What does she think makes the perfect bikini body? Put yourself in a bikini. Things have always worked out when Ellen, her closest friend and all-American beauty, is at her side.Until Will starts working at the neighborhood fast-food restaurant Harpy's. She meets the attractive former jock Private School Bo there. Will isn't shocked that she can't help but be drawn to Bo. But when he appears to like her back, she's taken aback.

Will's friendship with Bo doesn't make her feel more confident; instead, it makes her question herself. In an attempt to regain her confidence, she does the most horrific thing she can think of: she enters the Miss Clover City beauty contest, along with a few other strange contenders, to prove to the world that she is deserving of the title just as much as any other twiggy girl. She'll surprise everyone in Clover City along the way, maybe including herself.

Dumplin' is sure to win your heart with its starry Texas evenings, red candy suckers, Dolly Parton melodies, and totally memorable heroine.
