Hello, My Name is Doris

Poor Doris Miller (Sally Field). Her mother has just died and her brother, Todd (Steven Root) and his pushy, unsympathetic wife, Cindy (Wendi McClendon-Covey) want her to move out so they can get half the money from the sale.
Then, she gets a huge crush on the new guy at work, John Fremont (Max Greenfield). He is much younger than her and has completely different interests. With the help of her friend's granddaughter, Vivian (Isabella Acres), Doris creates a fake facebook so Doris can find out his interests and they form a mutual relationship over an electronic band. With her quirky looks, she even gets to model for the new album cover. She thinks that things are going well, though he doesn't want to spend much time with her. And then, she discovers that he has a girlfriend, Brooklyn (Beth Behrs) who also starts to like Doris, they both knit. Doris ruins that relationship, only to discover that John doesn't like her that way.
Though the film is mostly about her fantasy relationship with John, Doris is really a rather complex woman. She gave up so much so her brother could pursue his dreams. She stayed at home to take care of their mother, whose death starts the film. Doris is a hoarder and is far more attached to possessions than to any one person. But she does have friends, namely Roz (a great Tyne Daly), who hangs on to the memories of her long dead husband. Eventually, even her much younger co-workers start to like her, though they merely want her stuff when she leaves her job.
Doris does realize that her lifestyle is toxic to herself and it is. She cleans out her house and quits her job, something she's been hanging on to for far too long. She does apologize to John for ruining things and then leaves, though she has one more fantasy about John wanting her before leaving.
Sure, I would liked to have seen Doris apologize to Brooklyn and maybe that relationship could heal and I would have liked more scenes between Doris and Todd. At least she has her friends, that is more than some.
Thank goodness for Sally Field, her strong performance as a fully fleshed character carries the film. She is odd with her vintage clothes and too big fake hair piece with her headbands and two sets of glasses which she sometimes wears at the same time. Though everyone else is good, her facial expressions are almost worth watching alone as her face is like a book. If her performance had faltered ever, the film would have suffered, but it did not. Grade: B+
