Dumplin' is a beautiful illustration of what good parenting can do for fat children.

...there's so much willful, joyful uplift in the final scenes, it's hard not to buy into every aphorism re-upped from the classic Dolly playbook.

Dumplin' will mean a lot to a lot of young women who struggle to see themselves in TV and movies, and this feel-good comedy reminds them that they're beautiful just the way they are...

Fat bodies aren’t something to have a take on or to surround with an edginess to justify centering them. Dumplin’ gets that and it’s refreshing.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Cheesy, boring story that wants to buck the mainstream women’s figure stereotypes. A Chic movie for those struggling with body image issues, otherwise you’ll be bored.

It was mediocre and predictable. Will, or dumpling, except for the body style, was not well cast. Sort of all smiles and happy ending type of movie.
