5/27/2023 0 Comments Boo! by Nick PageantThe main character signs up for a pageant to embarrass / rebel against her OTT pageant queen mom, played by Jen Aniston. Note: this point was better made by TLC when they discovered Honey Boo Boo. The main point of Dumplin is that overweight people can be in pageants. (Note: this point was better made by Kirstie Alley’s repeated appearances on Dancing with the Stars). The main point of Hairspray is that overweight people can be on arcane dancing reality shows. Pictured: us trying to work out why this movie is different from Hairspray. Dove Cameron plays the same character in Hairspray that she does in this - a bitchy skinny girl that’s a bitch just because she’s skinny. Cue “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray…(and then continue to have that song stuck in your head for all of 2019). At its bones, this is just another liberation movie for overweight people.
