Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Hello, My Name Is Doris is a dramedy starring Sally Field as a quirky 60-something New Yorker who falls for a coworker half her age (Max Greenfield). Although sexual content doesn't include much more than kissing (both in Doris' daydreams and seen around her), there's a lot of strong language (especially "f--k," "f--king," and "s--t") and some mature themes related to May-December romances, cyberstalking (Doris creates a fake Facebook account to follow and friend her crush), hoarding, grief, and unhealthy family dynamics. That said, the movie does depict the way intergenerational bonds form and how some friendships can transcend age.

Sexual Content

Several scenes when Doris fantasizes about kissing/making out with John. Doris fixates on couples who kiss passionately.

Violence

Brief opening scene shows a dead body in a coffin at a funeral. Doris has a breakdown when a therapist and her relatives try to help her clear out her hoarded items.

Language

Strong language includes several uses of "f--k," "f--king," "s--t," "a--hole," "bitch," etc.

Social Behavior

The movie depicts friendship between people from different generations who connect through presumed shared interests. Doris' story proves that just because you're over a certain age doesn't mean you stop wanting romance, friendship, and connection.

Consumerism

Products seen include Apple MacBook, Facebook, iPhone.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Adults drink at clubs and parties; they play a drinking game in one scene. Doris drinks in excess.
