Hello, My Name Is Doris

I have been obsessed with this movie for years. "Awkwardly endearing" is the best way to describe it. Funny, cute, uncomfortable. We see this character learn and grow along the way, even in her ripe older age. Sally Field pulls off a stunning performance that really brings this wacky, magnificent character together.

This is a bit of a failure of a film. Sally Field is woefully miscast as a 68 year-old data entry clerk who falls in love with 35 year-old art director Max Greenfield. Unfortunately this isn't entirely Field's fault; the script renders her character unlikeable and stalkerish rather than quirky and charming. Field herself is not only a good actress, but also a rare beauty, and putting her in a funny wig and glasses make her a caricature rather than a character. The constantly-smiling Greenfield looks like a refugee from a Hallmark Christmas film and never convinces.

Rough beginning, unsatisfying ending, but good middle section. Sally Field has some nice moments with Max Greenfield.

I wonder how this would have done if it was Hello, My Name Is Boris

Music:8/10 Story: 8/10 I am highly recommended this movie to sad people or mum to watch this

Sally Fields was her usual great self which was the only decent thing about the movie. It was insulting to all older women that assumes a 20something is what we seek. This was a bad mix of comedy in poor taste (laughing at the older woman) and having no support for what she had gone through in life.

This movie is exactly where movies should be going; unique, funny, and artistic. Sally Field did an amazing job capsulising the crazy cat woman with a charming sexual desire living in a mainstream world.

Very strong performance by Sally Field. Her journey through pain and disappointment is the food for her personal growth, and you can't help but empathize with her. Terrific performance. This said, the premise of her pursuit of a coworker 20-30 years her junior was not believable, and I couldn't buy into it. All of those scenes with the guy and her fantasies about him left me cringing. This movie was a like/dislike for me. Very torn.

Sally Field plays a 60 year old - when she is 29 (gulp) Sorry Sally I would have loved this more if you had filmed it a decade earlier... Harmless fun - not convinced see pulls off the role - just too old..

Quirky and funny in spots. (Not as funny as Soapdish.)
