Critics Consensus: Elevated by a solid soundtrack and a terrific cast, Dumplin' offers sweetly uplifting drama that adds just enough new ingredients to a reliably comforting formula.

A movie so lifeless you'd have more fun guessing the Netflix niche group that the production is supposed to satisfy.
It presents a world that's a little kinder, a little gentler, and a little more willing to see the good in people than the current standards these days.
There's so much more to enjoy, from the nuanced work by Jennifer Aniston that ensures Rosie's never a caricature of a pageant mom; to the warm and natural best-buddy chemistry between Danielle MacDonald and Odeya Rush...
"Dumplin' " is muddled uplift, but with some encouraging new wrinkles.
Dumplin has pretty much made its point about acceptance and tolerance, in the kind of polished feel-good movie that comes wrapped up in a very familiar coat, indeed.
Director Anne Fletcher aims for the tear ducts, directing for maximum anguish, righteousness and/or schmaltz, and much of the Dumplin message arrives with postage due.
Danielle Macdonald is a star. Like Patti Cake$, Dumplin' is her showcase, proving she has both the comedic chops and emotional range to be a new force to reckon with in Hollywood.
Dolly's always been a woman full of contradictions. Her honesty is coated with a thick layer of glam. Dumplin' is sort of a mess of these contradictions too.
Funny, romantic, insightful teen tale has a little swearing.
A lovely movie that warmly embraces a wide(ish) range of girls-and-women-as-people, one that doesn't reduce its large heroine - the amazing Danielle Macdonald - to nothing more than her size. This should not feel so damn radical, but it is.
There's a sweetness to the film that may dip into saccharine territory for some viewers, but I didn't mind the comforting formula of the film.
There's not a huge amount of everlasting profundity, but it's still incredibly easy to have a good time.
