By now, you've probably seen or heard something about Netflix's new movie, 'Dumplin'. The feel-good drama, Dumplin', released on Netflix on Dec. 7, tells the story of 17-year-old Willowdean (played by PATTI CAKE$ breakout star Danielle Macdonald). She's a big girl in a small Texas town where her mother Rosie (Jennifer Aniston) is a former pageant queen and something of a local celebrity. At the story's opening, Willowdean is mourning the death of her beloved aunt, who taught her confidence in the face of body-shaming bullies and also instilled a love of country music legend Dolly Parton.
