Quick Rec: Dumplin' on Netflix

[sasha_feather]

Dumplin' is a cute drama on Netflix about a young, fat girl living in Texas, named Willowdean. Her mom, played by Jennifer Aniston, runs the local beauty pageant. Willowdean decides to enter the pageant along with some of her friends, partly as a tribute to her deceased aunt, and partly as a way to confound her mother. There are many Dolly Parton tunes, some drag queens (one is played by Harold Perrineau), a cute romance for Willowdean, and some emotional moments. I really enjoyed this.
