ssra_25 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.

phd_travel I really really liked this movie. Sally Field displays all the wonderful emotions that are required for this role. She's so funny and so touching. Only she can act a role like this.A spinster who has been looking after her elderly mother turns over a new leaf after her mother dies. She fantasizes about her young colleague and then pursues him.The situations are funny without being painful and the supporting cast is superb including Tyne Daly. Loved the hoarding intervention and the generational gap jokes especially with the Tyne's grand daughter.A superb film.

kijii Doris Miller (Sally Field) is a woman in her late sixties who has taken care of her mother for almost her entire adult life. But, her mother has just died and her brother and sister-in-law want her to sell their mother's house on Staten Island; Doris doesn't want to sell it. Her brother also tells her the he is worried about "the hording problem." Doris starts seeing a therapist about adjusting to her new situation. About this time, she also goes to a self-help seminar. (The name of the movie comes from her stick-on name tag from that seminar.) In spite of all the changes in Doris's life, she still has her job in a Manhattan office where she has done data entry in Accounting for years. So, her routine of ferrying to Manhattan to go to work hasn't changed, nor has her friendship with her long-time girlfriend, Roz (Tyne Daly). Roz, like Doris, seems to be "stuck" since she has not moved on since her "late" husband died—many years ago. One day, while ascending to her office in the elevator, Doris meets a new 30-something co-worker, John Fremont (Max Greenfield). When John is later introduced to the office staff, he is asked to make a few comments about himself. They are standard, brief, and to the point: he is from California and now looks forward to working in New York. Doris and John go out to lunch together. John seems to like her and is anxious to make new friends. In fact, when they go out to lunch together, they share many facts about their lives. John also asks Doris how she would feel about dating a younger man. When Doris tells Roz about this, Roz's granddaughter, Vivian (Isabella Acres), suggests trying to find him on Facebook to learn about his interests....

preppy-3 Sally Field plays Doris. She's a woman in a dead end job who has spent her whole life caring for her mom. Now her mom is dead and her mean brother and equally vicious wife want her to move out of the house she spent her whole life in. Then a handsome young man named John (Max Greenfield) starts at her work. She falls for him quickly. Problem is he's young enough to be her son! She tries to get him ignoring her best friend (Tyne Daly) who tries to talk sense to her. It has a realistic if bittersweet ending.Mild but sweet comedy/drama. It treats the character of Doris with respect. It never makes fun or her or shows her as being pathetic. It's never laugh out loud funny but I was smiling more than once. Field is great (as always) in her role. Daly matches her but is sadly underused. Even more underused is Greenfield who is just called upon to stand around looking handsome and grinning endlessly. Also his character is a bit too saint-like for me. Still I like the movie. It's sweet and charming. Rated R only for some language.
