Hello, My Name Is Doris

Hello, My Name Is Doris centres on Doris Miller, a sixty-something office worker in New York who, after her mother's death, begins attending self-help seminars. Encouraged by the advice of a motivational guru, she develops feelings for a much younger new colleague named John and decides to pursue him, which draws her into a social world far removed from her own.

The film was directed by Michael Showalter, who wrote the screenplay with Laura Terruso. It is the first title in the directing filmography listed here, ahead of The Big Sick, The Lovebirds, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Spoiler Alert, The Idea of You, Oh. What. Fun. and Verity. Sally Field plays Doris, with Max Greenfield as John, alongside Beth Behrs, Stephen Root, Natasha Lyonne and Kumail Nanjiani among a credited cast of forty-four. Produced by Daniela Taplin Lundberg, Riva Marker and Kevin Mann, it runs 95 minutes and blends comedy, drama and romance.

Made for about 1 million US dollars, the film went on to take roughly 15 million dollars worldwide, a strong return relative to its cost. It holds a 6.6 rating on IMDb from around 23,000 votes and a 6.3 on TMDB from about 524 votes, while its critics' rating stands at 7 out of 10 from 127 reviews, so critics rated it somewhat more favourably than the wider public did.
