Some may state that Sally Field was an A-List actress, but the truth is she still is one to this day. However, the sad reality is there are very few scripts out there with meaty parts for women in her age bracket. So thank goodness for Michael Showalter and Laura Terruso’s screenplay “Hello, My Name is Doris” opening today, March 18, came her way. Not only does the movie enable the Academy Award winning actress to embody a great character again, it gives her a chance to remind us what a gifted comedic actress she is and why she still belongs on the A-List.

Sally Field is Doris. A Staten Island woman who still takes the ferry into New York City five days a week for work. Her life has been nothing more than mundane for years, but that all changes when a new handsome, young man starts to work in her office. She feels an instant connection with him and even begins to have fantasies with her new co-worker. Why can’t Doris’ fantasies come true despite their age difference?
