Plot summary
What is Dumplin' movie plot?
Here is a short review of "Dumplin'" movie plot summary.
Willowdean "Will" Dickson grows up in a small Texas town, raised primarily by her Aunt Lucy. Her mother Rosie (Jennifer Aniston) - who calls her "Dumplin'", much to Will's chagrin - is a former beauty queen, too committed to various pageants to spend time with her daughter, and remains the planner of the town's annual Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant. Lucy introduces Will to Ellen Dryver (Odeya Rush), who becomes Will's best friend, and to the music of Dolly Parton. Six months before Will and Ellen start their final year of high school, Lucy dies. Rosie finds difficulty connecting with Will, who often feels judged about her weight and is embarrassed by her mother's pageant world.
On the first day of school, Will is suspended after defending another overweight girl, Millie Mitchellchuck (Maddie Baillio), from a bully. Will accuses Rosie of resenting Will for her looks, and is upset when Rosie insinuates Lucy should have taken better care of her health. After finding Lucy's application for the Miss Teen Bluebonnet Pageant when she was 16, Will enters the pageant as an act of "protest in heels". Ellen signs up as well, along with the enthusiastic Millie and their classmate Hannah Perez (Bex Taylor-Klaus), an edgy feminist. Rosie interprets Will's application as a mockery of the pageant, and warns her that pageants are harder than she thinks. Will becomes jealous when Ellen warms to the pageant and the other contestants, and they quarrel after Will tells Ellen to quit.
Bo, who works with Will at the local diner, asks her out to watch a meteor shower. They kiss, but Will panics when Bo innocently touches her back, and leaves abruptly. She feels further alienated when Rosie mentors Bekah Colter (Dove Cameron), the pageant frontrunner, who plans to ask Bo to the Sadie Hawkins dance. After finding a flyer for a bar Lucy frequented, Will takes Millie and Hannah to the bar's Dolly Parton-themed drag show, where Will meets Lee Wayne (Harold Perrineau), a drag queen, who was a close friend of Lucy. During the pageant talent tryouts, Will's choice to perform a magic trick goes poorly. Bo confesses his feelings for Will, having declined to go with Bekah to the dance, but Will is quick to question his attraction; hurt, he accuses her of caring too much about what others think.
