Hello, My Name is Doris

Showcasing her well known natural sweetness, comedic talents and dramatic flair, is two time Oscar winner Sally Field who delivers a convincing performance in this character-based comedy.

Doris Miller (Sally Field), 60-something, works many years in the same office. She dedicated her life to the care of her recently deceased mother with whom she lived in a cluttered Staten Island home. When John Fremont (Max Greenfield), the half of her age hunk, joins the office, Doris is thrown out of her comfort zone. 


After attending a motivational seminar, she is empowered by the well known speaker (Peter Gallagher) to take control of her life and catch the eye of John. 

What ensues are laugh out loud, uplifting and touching moments. The comedy overshadows the drama in this well casted feature, masterfully directed by Michael Showalter, who co-wrote the screenplay with Laura Terruso based on a short film by Terruso 'Doris and The Intern'.

Hello, My Name is Doris, delivers hilarious, heartfelt moments and is engaging from start to end. A must see.
