Hello, My Name is Doris, 2.5 Stars

Tyne Daly
This movie got good reviews, has some very good acting and is, admittedly, well done.

Sally Field (Steel Magnolias) is very good, as is Max Greenfield (whom I'm not familiar with). Tyne Daly (TV's Judging Amy) plays her usual role and I liked Isabella Acres, who is fairly new.

The film deals with social issues such as hoarding, people who don't 'fit' into society, and types of friendships. The story lurches from scene to scene initially and then finds its groove. But overall I felt edgy (which I'm sure was the intent) and made me think about relationships of which I didn't wish to be reminded.

You might like it. I wouldn't see it again.
