Hello, My Name is Doris Synopsis:<\/strong> A self-help seminar inspires a sixty-something woman to romantically pursue her younger co-worker.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

After losing her mother, a self-help seminar pushes Doris (Sally Field<\/strong>) to pursue an attractive younger co-worker, John (Max Greenfield<\/a><\/strong>), who has just started as the company’s new art director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With help from her best friend’s granddaughter, Doris finds John on social media and uses an alias, Lilith Primrose, to stalk his Facebook to learn about his hobbies and enjoyments. Doris and John strike up a friendship that leaves Doris optimistic for something more\u2026 at least until John’s girlfriend, Brooklyn (Beth Behrs<\/strong>), enters the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello, My Name is Doris<\/i> is equal parts whimsical and cringe-worthy. Sally Field is brilliantly funny and sweet in this movie as she tries to balance her life as it is and her life as it could be (or could have been) with John’s younger crowd of friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the intense secondhand embarrassment that occurred from a variety of Doris’s bad decisions – I literally covered my eyes when she was typing a drunken message onto John’s Facebook page – this was a quirky, fun, not-so-typical rom-com, if one could even label it like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m giving an extra half a star for Doris’s wardrobe – and that ‘yesssss’ ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
