Shall we do one movie trailer for today, in the hopes that it brings the weekend a few minutes closer?
I’m game.
Yesterday we showed you the rather odd Ryan Reynolds / Pokémon: Detective Pikachu trailer, which has divided opinion amongst Pokémon fans.
Given that Dumplin’ is all about body positivity, we’ll probably see a few think pieces popping up around this one, too.
Anyway, Rolling Stone offers this synopsis:
Aniston’s character Rosie Dickson is reigning queen in her small Texas town as a former pageant winner who now runs the local pageant…
However, when her self-proclaimed “fat” daughter Willowdean (Danielle Macdonald) enters the pageant, she starts a body positivity revolution and challenges the town’s perceptions of what it means to be beautiful.
“It’s gonna be like a protest in heels,” Willowdean says in the trailer. The Dolly Parton-obsessed teen may have joined the pageant on a lark, but soon her friends and others join her quest and in the process study for the pageant at a Dolly Parton-themed drag show.
When Willowdean begins to experience self-doubt, one of the drag queens gives her a pep talk: “You know that Dolly saying? Figure out who you are and do it on purpose.”
OK, if that’s your thing.
