This is a film about a girl whose only defining trait is that she is fat. The character is an apathetic, boring girl who never tries hard at anything she does and tries to spoil the fun for her friends that do. The other fat girl, Millicent was much nicer and I wanted to see her succeed. Truly, almost every character is more intereting than the lead.
As another review said, we are told the whole movie that Dumplin's mom hates her but this is never shown or even hinted at. The only times Jennifer Aniston and Willowdean have any conflict is when the latter is not trying and expecting a hand out from her mom, the judge.
I hope the original material is better. As it stands, this films haste awful message that trying is too hard.
Really disappointed that this film gets so many 10/10s because the reviewers relate to the character. Body positive films should be better than this
