We have all seen the movies where the overweight girl loses all the weight and enters a beauty pageant, or the underdog enters and wins. But in Netflix's "Dumplin,'" the story is a bit different.

"Dumplin'" follows the story of overweight teenager Willowdean "Dumplin'" Dickson (Danielle Macdonald), and her former beauty pageant winning mother, Rosie Dickson (Jennifer Aniston). Willowdean despises the nickname her mother calls her, because it has made her feel like she is round and fat like a dumpling.

The plot focuses on how Willowdean is lost without her Aunt Lucy, who died six months prior. Lucy practically raised Willowdean, and had an obsession with Dolly Parton, whose songs are featured throughout the movie. She was fun, free and taught Willowdean to love herself no matter what, however as Willowdean deals with school and kids picking on her, she finds that harder to do.

Aunt Lucy also introduced Willowdean to Ellen "El" (Odeya Rush), another girl her age, who became best friends with her, and still remains her best friend. They share their love for Dolly, but El has made friends with a girl who is planning on entering the local beauty pageant that Willowdean's mom is in charge of. Tired of hearing about the pageant and her mother constantly nagging her to clean herself up, Willowdean decides to enter the pageant as revenge against Rosie.

With El, another overweight but always happy girl at school Millie, and a tomboyish girl Hannah, Willowdean enters the pageant, much to Rosie's dismay. She feels Willowdean is trying to ruin it, but Willowdean wants to make a point that anyone should be a allowed to enter, despite how they may look.

I thought this was kind of a different type of pageant story because the overweight girl is not trying to win, but show others that you can have a bigger body and do pageants. Willowdean and El wear matching swimsuits that say "Every body is a swimsuit body." I thought that was a good message to have in this movie, which had a lot of cliches and silly lines, but it was a more modern type of message that I think a lot of young viewers could take away from.

Through the course of the movie Willowdean struggles with accepting the fact that the boy she works with at a hamburger joint, Bo, likes her for who she is. He is the new kid at a prep school and has a lot of girls crushing on him, so Willowdean feels like there is something wrong with the fact that he kisses her and confesses his feelings.

I think that was a good thing to put in the movie as well, because sometimes bigger girls might question why someone like that might want to be with them, and that should not be the case. Anyone should like anyone they want, and it should not be seen as weird.

I also enjoyed the drag queens that helped transform Willowdean and her friends into pageant ready contestants when they decided to really get into it. I felt it was a nice touch and added a sense of humor to the movie that did deal with some heavy topics.

I will not give away the entire ending to the movie, because I do feel it is worth the watch. As cliche and corny the country accents are in the movie, it has a nice ending and has some pretty valuable lessons in it.
