Hello, My Name Is Doris

In "Hello, My Name is Doris," writer and director Michael Showalter describes the desperate, obsessive stupidity of being human with the expressive charm and impressive comic talents of Sally Fields.

Two-time Academy Award-winner Sally Fields plays Doris, a woman who's lived with and taken care of her mother her entire life and consequently never had a serious relationship or a life of her own. She's left with regret and a house on Staten Island packed with piles of worthless memories. Her brother sends her to a therapist - not for her own good - so that he can motivate her to clean up and sell the property.

Her dull data entry job that she's been stuck in for decades doesn't give her much hope either, until a handsome and much younger art director (Max Greenfield) comes into the office and pays her some attention. With the help of her best friend's (Tyne Daly) 13 year-old granddaughter, she hatches a plot to seduce him and change her life. In the process, she meets a whole new group of friends and a whole new world of possibilities.

"Hello, My Name is Doris" has the rare ability to keep audiences laughing even as they cringe at their hero's misguided and seemingly self-delusional behavior. More than an endearing and "cute" actress, Sally Fields brings to her performance depth and daft comic timing. She takes the helm and never fails to lose our empathy with her complicated characterization.

Along with an audio commentary from the writer/director, this Blu-ray includes an alternate opening, and deleted and extended scenes.
