Summary: Dawn Weiner is a seventh-grader who is hated, reviled and seldom understood. She struggles through a long puberty and wonders whether life just might be better outside New Jersey.

Todd Solondz's WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE follows the painful daily trials of Dawn 'Wienerdog' Wiener (Heather Matarazzo), an awkward, nerdy 12-year-old. The middle child between her geeky older brother, Mark (Matthew Faber), and her sickeningly sweet little sister, Missy (Daria Kalinina), Dawn has a rough time with her family and everything else, including school and boys. She's obsessed with Mark's hunky bandmate, Steve (Eric Mabius), but the only guy who pays her any attention is the local thug, Brandon (Brendan Sexton III), who constantly threatens her with rape. With startling accuracy and humour, Solondz captures the hell known as junior high in his blow-by-blow account of Dawn's difficult life. One of the darkest and funniest tales of adolescence ever filmed, DOLLHOUSE serves as a grateful reminder that puberty strikes only once.
