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.

It’s felt like forever since we were last blessed with a big Jennifer Aniston-fronted movie...

I urge you to put aside whatever you were going to watch, and take a bite of Dumplin' instead. You won't regret it.

I'm certainly not the target market for this, but it wasn't horrible. Cute and sometimes sweet, but trite and always cliché.

Filled with beginnings, but lacks any sense of completion.

Good movie! Watch it on Mother’s Day. It had an important message about how beauty can be found in everyone, no matter what they look like. I thought Jennifer Aniston was great in this. I’m not usually a huge fan of her work, but I thought her performance here was very believable. The movie had some really good comedy too. I laughed a lot during certain scenes. I also didn’t expect to see Dove Cameron in this, and I thought she did a good job as well. Would definitely recommend it.

Breaks no new ground but still offers familiar pleasures while reiterating a timeless truth about self-confidence and the role families play in whether one has it.
