Hello, My Name Is Doris

Doris may be a bit clueless, but the movie doesn't deny [Sally] Field her sexuality.

Showalter navigating things in such a way that he's able to pay off early jokes in a way that feels cathartic and genuine, yet is still humorous, while also allowing for an aura of jovial possibility that's positively joyous.

A sharp dramedy focusing on the romantic stirrings of a lonely office worker, played with considerable wit and verve by the 69-year-old Sally Field.

The best thing about Hello, My Name Is Doris is that nothing gets resolved in the expected movie fashion. The story will make you laugh, no question, but it will also make you deeply uncomfortable, and we mean that in the best way.

Field and director Michael Showalter (who also co-writes, with Laura Terruso) find humanity within the humour.

A winning comedy-drama built around one of cinema's most endearing leading ladies.

Hello, My Name is Doris offers awkward humor that will be panic-inducing for some audiences, but it's simultaneously very funny, heartfelt and in the end will make you smile.

You cheer Sally Field's Doris through every wobbly step of her moving, funny and confronting chapter of accidents.

Early on in the film John says, "I like you Doris." I predict by the end of the film you will too.

Sometimes, the formula works and when you have a lead actress the caliber of Sally Field there's a pretty good chance it's really going to work.
