Movie #1311 "Hello, My Name is Doris" -- as soon as I saw the trailer, I wanted to see this because I am a fan of Sally Field, and I think she usually makes good decisions on the films she is in. But this walks on the edge. I personally enjoyed it, but I am not sure I'd recommend it for lots of people. What I didn't know from the trailer is that SHE thinks that this young guy is a possibility for being her soul mate ---- I thought from the trailer that it was a reality, and the film was about someone younger falling in love with someone older. Wrong! If you know that, and the film still seems intriguing to you, go right ahead and see it, but it has a lot more drama than the trailer suggested. Yes, there are some fun moments (see Sally Field dancing to a very alternative group is a stitch! And the concert of this same group is fun to watch), but most is about her friendship with Tyne Daly and Daly's grandaughter. And her coming to terms with hoarding for years and years. So, bottom line --- if you are a sally field fan, or the above sounds interesting to you, see this. otherwise, this is a "can skip" one. I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
