Tonally, this is a bit of a swerve-ball entry. If you judge by the trailer alone, you could be lured into thinking that this is nothing more than a throw-away comedy and an excuse to give Sally Field a vehicle back into cinemas as a leading lady. There's much more to it than that though - Hello, My Name Is Doris has been delighting audiences at film festivals for the past year and has been labelled a quaint comedy with poignant undertones. Doris is an office worker in her sixties and, after finding inspiration at a self-help seminar, decides to go after a much younger love interest and co-worker in the form of a twenty-something hunk, played by Max Greenfield. If audiences really, really like this as much as festival attendees, this R-Rated flick could be the film that gives Sally Field a new lease of life. Hello, My Name is Doris hits US theatres on March 11th and the UK release date is to be confirmed.
