“Dumplin'” is one of those movies where the main character spends most of the time doing everything imaginable to be unlikable, which means that for most of the time, this movie is unlikable.

The movie is very competently made, well acted and will edited, but there just isn't anything about it that appealed to me. I am certain there are people who will really connect with the message of this movie, but I need more than a message to recommend sitting with this thing for 2 hours. I give it a D, just don’t bother.… Expand

I don't know if they edited a bunch of stuff out or what, but there were places that didn't make a lot of sense. Relationships go unexplained, which makes the character's behaviors confusing at times. I would guarantee there is another 20-30 minutes of this movie sitting on Netflix's cutting room floor somewhere. It's a shame because it would've been so much more fulfilling otherwise. It also looked a little cheaply done - just 3 real sets, some (free) outdoor scenes, etc. That's fine but it did seem to detract somewhat from the movie. Finally, the main character Dumplin' isn't really that likeable if you step back and think about her. She's kind of awful to her mother, her friends, her love interest, etc. She has a big chip on her shoulder and wants to play the victim. How am I supposed to empathize with that? It could've been better if the acting of her character was more "fun" but she came off as being mean. It was overall a cute movie, but could've been so much better with more scenes/explanation and a less mean-spirited protagonist.… Expand

Good message but zero originality in both the story and execution. Netflix standard.

La trama es genérica y poco original; la recomiendo si no tienes nada más que ver.
