Based on Julie Murphy s young adult bestseller, Anne Fletcher s coming-of-age comedy puts a spotlight on the complexity of a mother-daughter relationship as former beauty queen Rosie (Jennifer Aniston) and her plus-size teenage daughter, Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald), navigate years of unresolved conflict between them. Case in point: It doesn t help that Rosie keeps calling Willowdean Dumplin, because she thinks her daughter looks like a round little dumplin .
Finally, our title heroine figures out a way for her mom to hear her out. Why not enter the small town s annual Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant, which Rosie manages? This way, she can put forward her heels in protest. And so begins the unraveling of long-simmering resentments and tensions between the mom and her daughter. Will they ever reconcile their differences?
