One of my all time favorites.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

What can I say other then the fact that this movie is about a frustrated old woman who, one day, decides to break up a young couple and then to claim that she never wanted to harm anyone. And for some reason, the gets sympathy and respect for it. All I can say is that this movie is absolutely pathetic and not worth watching.

I don't know how to say how horrible this movie is. It's as if Sally Field (whom I've loved--and I do mean loved--ever since Sybil) forgot all the wonderful work she's done in the past 40+ years and returned to her moronic Gidget and Flying Nun sit-com roots. The problem is that she's hit 70 now, and behaving like an empty-headed, lovestruck tween is grossly out of place. She makes being an old woman seem extremely creepy.If this movie had not been so badly written and directed, her performance might have pulled it out of the gutter, but she just played along with the astonishing dumbness and let the movie slog through the scum it was spawned in.I'm going to try really hard to forget I ever saw this movie; if I can, maybe my appreciation of Sally Field will return. I wish I hadn't rented it, but I believed the gushing reviews, which must have been written by other septuagenarian Gidgets like Doris who are grateful finally to have a role model in Hollywood.

I thought this was a comedy. Turned out it was very sad and kept me up all night as I was so upset about this poor old lady being in humiliating situations so many times. I found it to be a heartbreaking movie that made it appear as though love between an older lady and a younger man could not be possible. The old lady was very attaching and I loved her. She played her role beautifully. I just do not see what is funny about this movie, unless you like to laugh at vulnerable old ladies.

There were so many times in this film I was genuinely sorry for Doris. While there were comical elements, mostly this was a tragic look at a doomed life too many martyr-types of women allow themselves to be locked into. My aunt was one, and she killed herself. Doris, however, has been saved by her great good friend...thank God for that.But along the way, as we see Doris live, love, long, imagine, and absolutely flip out by accepting help from her friend's granddaughter (Facebook can be evil in the wrong hands!); mostly I loved seeing Sally Field as an honest, no-surgery- actress, unafraid to portray a woman who is aged, no longer in her prime, and still willing to face whatever is ahead and live a life anew. Dying young is a tragedy; living a long life as an older person is tough! Here's to "Hello, My Name is Doris" for taking a look at a real-life scenario and breathing life into characters who may truly be real folks. Sally Field, I always liked you...and I do even more, now!
