The best thing about Hello, My Name Is Doris is that nothing gets resolved in the expected movie fashion. The story will make you laugh, no question, but it will also make you deeply uncomfortable, and we mean that in the best way.
Liz Braun, Toronto Sun

Field and director Michael Showalter (who also co-writes, with Laura Terruso) find humanity within the humour.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh
A winning comedy-drama built around one of cinema's most endearing leading ladies.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Fresh
Showalter, whose 2005 romantic comedy "The Baxter" was similarly kindhearted, handles the material with tenderness and care, and never lets it devolve into meanness the way it might in the hands of another director.
