We still like Sally Field

"Hello, My Name is Doris" is a romantic comedy of self-discovery.

Talk about star-crossed lovers. This is more like office cubicle-crossed lovers.In "Hello, My Name is Doris," the film's title character, Doris (Sally Field) meets the new art director, John (Max Greenfield), at a New York City firm. They meet "cute" in a crowded elevator. Doris is smitten, to say the least. Obsessed would be the better description of Doris' infatuation with John.John is friendly. However, he keeps it professional with Doris, as well he should given the corporate setting. Doris, however, thinks about John nearly every minute, including on the ferry ride back to Staten Island where she lives in the house of her recently deceased mother.Doris is resentful toward her brother, Todd (Stephen Root), and his wife for all the years she put her life on hold to be the primary caregiver for her mother.Doris fantasizes about a new life with John. However, John has a girlfriend, Brooklyn (Beth Behrs, TV's "2 Broke Girls," 2011-present).Doris' brother insists that she see a therapist, Dr. Edwards (Elizabeth Reaser), because she is a hoarder as was her mother. The brother and his spouse want Doris to clean up the mother's house so that it can be sold and the proceeds can be divided between them.A motivational speaker, Willy Williams (Peter Gallagher), gives Doris some encouragement ("It's 'I'm' possible' not 'impossible,' " he emphasizes.) as does Doris' best friend, Roz (Tyne Daly), and Roz's teen grandchild, Vivian (Isabella Acres)."Hello, My Name is Doris" depicts a May-September romance with a twist. Rather than the stereotypical older man and younger woman, it's the woman, Doris, who is much older than the man, John. This creates many comedic possibilities, which the film exploits in a genial way with modest humor and pleasant chuckles.The chief reason to see "Hello" is for the performances of Sally Field and Max Greenfield.The filmmakers have outfitted Sally Field ("The Amazing Spider-Man 2," 2014; "Lincoln," 2012; Oscars, actress: "Places in the Heart," 1984; "Norma Rae," 1979; co-host with Robert Osbourne, TV's "The Essentials," TCM, 2015-16) in thrift-store chic. Her attire looks like it was thrown up in the air in a scramble at a rummage sale and landed on her. She minces along in short, quick steps. Field's facial expressions accessorize her quirky attire. She reacts with her big eyes and, for extra emphasis, scrunches up the right corner of her mouth. And then there's that smile and beaming grin. Her vocal inflections, too, are captivating.Max Greenfield ("The Big Short," 2016; TV's "New Girl," 2011-16) is perfect casting opposite Sally Field. He is such a handsome, good-natured and standup presence. You don't doubt his virtue. And, while he has the vibe of a young Dustin Hoffman, this is no Mrs. Robinson situation from "The Graduate" (1967) movie.Michael Showalter ("The Baxter," 2005) directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Laura Terruso (her theatrical movie screenplay debut) based on Terruso's short film, "Doris & the Intern")."Hello, My Name is Doris" is an enjoyable time at the movies for the young and especially the young at heart."Hello, My Name is Doris"is MPAA Rated R (Restricted.
