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.

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.
