How good is this film! I've watched it four times since yesterday and discovered a love for Dolly Parton.

Watched it with the dds tonight. We all loved it. Some great Dolly songs in there too.

ihatehoney · 14/12/2018 23:29

I thought it was great too, but probably wouldn't watch it again- let alone 4 times 😂😂

ilovepinkgin33 · 14/12/2018 23:46

Watched I a few days ago and absolutely loved it Such a breath of fresh air to watch with my daughter, such a strong message of self AND body confidence, I've always loved dolly and it was fab to see ginger minge to n it she's one of my favourite drag queens from ru Paul's drag race

I watched it yesterday and I'll admit I did cry a few times

Would highly recommend it.

CupsAndPentacles · 16/12/2018 19:06

i expected it to be good but it wasn't at all

Munchmallow · 16/12/2018 19:08

I loved it, such a positive message and so well acted. It was lovely.

Bakingberry · 16/12/2018 19:14

I loved it too. Hopefully it will introduce a new generation to Dolly Parton.

@Bakingberry definitely! My dd is 8 and she is listening to dolly all the time after watching dumplin.

It's been a huge hit in this house, with me and DD1 (13). Such a positive message.

One thing I especially liked was, that while there was a romance as part of the story - and how wonderful was that moment when Bo said, "Willowdean Dickson I think you’re beautiful. To hell with anyone else who’s ever made you feel less than that," - it didn't dominate the story, instead the main focus was self-acceptance and body-positivity.

Maybe, just maybe, Dumplin' might be the one thing that stops DD1 watching TATBILB over and over and over and over again!

Lwmommy · 16/12/2018 19:52

I watched it because i love Dolly, it was a fab film and I've been listening to Dolly even more now

CantstandmLMs · 27/12/2018 15:42

I watched this a while ago but have been telling everybody to see it! What a genuine feel good movie with a brilliant message! And dolly?! You can't go wrong.

ilovecardigans · 03/01/2019 21:32

I absolutely adored this film! It's sweet, funny, warm, bittersweet, wistful, compassionate and has a great message. I blubbed on more than one occasion and the ending was terrific, as was the lead actress Danielle Macdonald.
