I fully enjoyed this movie. It’s sweet, it’s corny, it’s everything you’d expect from a coming-of-age movie. The best part is that it is about the iconic Dolly Parton. I’m just dissapointed she didn’t make an appearance. From all the pressI fully enjoyed this movie. It’s sweet, it’s corny, it’s everything you’d expect from a coming-of-age movie.

However, overall a perfect 10!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is very interesting and eye catching. It tells about a girl that isn't very confident in her body and boosts her confidence by entering into a pageant that her mother runs. Even though she doesn't win the pageant, in the end she feels confident and ready to make the world her runway.… Expand

This is a cute movie with a good message. It doesn't delve deep enough into the Mother/Daughter relationship between the two main characters and the same flashback scenes are shown over and over again but I think it's a well made movie with aThis is a cute movie with a good message.

The casts performances were stupendous especially Danielle McDonald and Jennifer Aniston. Maddie Baillio, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Odeya Rush, and Luke Benward also gave fantastic performances.

I enjoyed this film. Its cheesy and a bit cliched but the songs are fun, easy to hum along with and its an easy, feel good watch. Its not especially original but thats fine as I was only looking for an easy and fun watch - it may be corny butI enjoyed this film. Its cheesy and a bit cliched but the songs are fun, easy to hum along with and its an easy, feel good watch. Its not especially original but thats fine as I was only looking for an easy and fun watch - it may be corny but it does have that life affirming feel to it, which sometimes is just whats needed. I imagine quite a lot of people could relate to the main character, to the themes present (feeling like you don't fit in, the obsession with fashion and skinny figures in young people etc.). Its not a film to be over analysing or expect a great deal from but for what it is, its certainly not bad. I certainly liked that the film doesn't shy away from some aspects of things, it doesn't overly sugar-coat the scenarios, what is allowed and what happens at the pageant. Danielle Macdonald gave a decent performance as the main character, Willowdean, I felt, so thats good. I reckon this is worth a watch if you have Netflix and are interested in it.… Expand

Yeah it is only Netflix I know. Still a decent movie with nice vibes and laughter. Aniston still cannot act though...
