Hello, My Name is Doris: Average Guy Movie Review

Sally Field stars in this romantic comedy-drama about a woman who develops an infatuation with a younger colleague. Doris Miller is a woman who many years ago, put her life on hold in order to care for her mother. Now that her mother has passed away, Doris' life is her own again, but she doesn't really know what to do with it. Director Michael Showalter has developed a tribute to all the people in this world, who feel like they go unnoticed. Sally Field delivers an incredible yet quirky performance as Doris. It's great to see Field get a starring role over the type of supporting roles she's known for, in movies like Smokey and The Bandit, Mrs Doubtfire and The Amazing Spider-Man. Field brings real heart to this role, life hasn't really worked out the way Doris planned, but she never gives in. Doris is quite inspirational that way, no matter what happens she just keeps going, one foot in front of the other. Backing up Field is a great supporting cast.
