We Really Like Sally Fields in MY NAME is DORIS

MY NAME is DORIS is a very likable film featuring Sally Fields as Doris, a delusional relic in a young person's world.  She plays the old fool willing to learn a few new tricks.  She won me over with her gutsy grab for gusto.  At first, Doris is seems the stereotypical spinster who sacrificed her life to take care of mom leaving her living alone except for a feline and a household of trash.  The courageous, self-effacing quest for the unattainable office hunk leads Doris on a delightful transition into the world of possibilities with a clean slate.  All the characters are likeable, quirky and caring.  Doris (the illuminating Fields) finds herself working in an office with a rubber ball underneath & peers a generation or two younger.  Although not a total recluse, she lives an unhealthy hoarding lifestyle.  Doris' best friend is veteran actress Tyne Daly (6 time Emmy winner & Tony winner.)  Daly performance is Oscar worthy.  This movie is about friendship & compassion as well as taking a leap of faith.  John (Max Greenfield, "The New Girl")  is the new art dir. at the office where Doris is a holdover from before the takeover.  She is an oddball, wallflower willing herself to blossom.  Greenfield plays John charisma & charm and is lead male material.  There are cringeworthy moments due to Doris' obsessive & compulsive behaviors but these make you like her all the more for efforts. MY NAME is DORIS is a movie I adored.  Yes, I really like this chick flick with Sally Fields.  It's a film to look forward to seeing.
