Her name is Doris is and you're gonna love her.

At some point in our lives there is a crush at the office. Someone becomes smitten with the new guy or gal and more often than not, it's unrequited. You never plan on it happening. It just does and there's nothing to be done about it — nothing being the operative word.

In “Hello My Name Is Doris,” Sally Field portrays Doris, a woman who lost the opportunity for love when she refused to leave her mother and follow her fiance to his new job in Arizona. Doris lives her whole life in her mother's home caring for the woman to the bitter end and working in the same accounting department all of her life. To sum it up, there hasn't been a lot of excitement (of the desirable kind) in her life. It's all been rather predictable. Boring even.

Until … cue the “Hallelujah Chorus” … Doris finds herself in tight quarters aboard an office elevator, so close and facing each other. He adjusts her cat's eye glasses gone askew as the throngs entered the elevator, says he likes them. Elevator stops and most of the workers get off on that floor.

Finally at work, Doris' boss introduces the office to the new art director, a California man now in the Big Apple … yep, it's him … turns out his name is John Fremont (Max Greenfield). Doris is stunned. She didn't see this coming. Several of her coworkers are giving John the eye – or at the very least “the once over.”

And here it comes … fantasy sequence Number 1. The state Doris finds herself in as the fantasy sequence will have laughing or “Awwwwwww-ing” out loud.

Doris is unique. She's got her own sense of style that really stands out – for a shy woman. Boho-50's-thrift store charm. That's Doris. Always wearing her cat's eye glasses — adding a pair of cheap reading glasses in front of them when needed; always adorns her wig topped hair with a bow made of some kerchief or scarf; always accessorizes well with costume jewelry – and some real stones (particularly a tiger's eye necklace) and, here's what surprised me: high heels. Heels that are so narrow I marveled at how she could walk in them.

Best friend Roz (Tyne Daly) is a widow whose 13-year-old granddaughter Vivian (Isabella Acres) lives with her since Roz's daughter went to jail … Roz and Doris have been close friends for some time. One night at Roz's, after talking about Thanksgiving plans, Roz tells Doris that if she wants this new guy she has to have something in common with him. For instance, Roz and her husband both liked jazz. Vivian tells Doris she needs to be on Facebook — because hunky John Fremont is. Doris won't go on Facebook as herself so Vivian suggests they make up someone for Doris to be. Doris chooses the name Lilith Primrose because it’s the name she always thought she would have if she were a character in a romance novel.

And that's exactly what she becomes — it's just not a novel — it's a real life fantasy. And it’s her fantasy and she'll feed it if she wants to. Vivian sends Lilith Primrose's friend request to John and he accepts — with a query: how does he know her? Doris writes back — we met in Malibu — once. He's satisfied with the answer and Doris goes back to scrutinizing his profile and writes down all the things he likes – Indian food, Baby Goya band … electronic music. What? Doris buys the latest CD at a music store and takes it home.

In a 1950's wide flare (poodle like) skirt and blouse, she pops the CD in and listens as the music begins, not really diggin' it at first. Slowly she starts shaking and moving about, next thing you know she's tossing her head, doing kicks … the sound is downright liberating!

This is just the beginning of what lengths Doris will go to to get this guy.

Later in the film, after John tells her about his recent breakup, he asks her if she'd ever been in love. Turns out in her 20s she met Arthur. A folk music loving, foreign film watching man who proposed. She accepted. Then, when he graduated college he was offered a job in Arizona, but she couldn't leave her mother. It would have killed her mother. And, from the way she describes Arthur you learn John actually looks something like him. Could be part of the attraction Doris feels for John. I mean, this isn't a May-December romance, there's almost a 40-year age difference being spanned here.

So while Doris is thinking love is all around, her brother and his wife want Doris to clean up mom's house — Doris is a bit of a hoarder — so it can be sold. To say that Doris isn't interested in leaving, or parting with any of her treasures, would be putting it mildly. So, brother Todd sets Doris up with a psychiatrist. Doris keeps the appointments, but won't talk about much; she knows this is all about the house.

Doris doesn't feel she is a hoarder, she just accumulates things, holds on to things, because she might need them someday.

Someday may or may not come, but one day does — one day that John asks her if she'd date a younger man. Why, yes! Doris replies, Yes she would.

Sally Field conveys this unusual, quirky, quiet woman to perfection. Field's performance is a big part of why you should see the film. She is a delight and still adorable, even at age 69.

When I got back to the office, a co-worker asked me if there was a third Oscar on the horizon. I said no, not for this one. But, Sally Field'll show you why she's a two time winner.

Greenfield is terrific as Doris' object of desire — boyish and charming, genuine and flirty.

Like I said, her name is Doris – and you're gonna love her.
