When Doris is at the diner with her co workers, the shots go back and forth with angles. Each time the angles change, the drink for the female co worker has inconsistent placement. In one shot she can be seen lifting it up to her mouth to drink, and the very next shot it is down on the table again and we can see her lifting it up to her mouth again. This continues throughout the entire scene. See more »

Weak comedy about an older woman (Sally Field) crushing on a much younger man (Max Greenfield). Field is a long-time loner who has recently lost her mother, with whom she lived. She's been stuck in a rut for decades, and Greenfield, her new co-worker, excites her. They become friends, particularly because her old-fashioned style is accepted as cool by Greenfield and his hipster friends. The whole film is very two dimensional and bland. I would dismiss it as sitcommy, but sitcoms in general are much better than this - Hell, I only saw it because I love Greenfield so much on New Girl. Much of the other talent has done great work on television, too, including director Michael Showalter, aka Doug from The State. Other actors you might recognize from TV are Wendi McLendon Covey (Reno 911!, The Greenbergs), Stephen Root (NewsRadio), Isabella Acres (Better Off Ted), Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is the New Black), Kumail Nanjiani (pretty much every TV show of the past five years), and Rich Sommer (Mad Men) among others. Field herself is okay, and is particularly great in one big dramatic scene where her brother (Root) tries to get her to clean up her house (she's a hoarder), but the film isn't really interested in creating any characters worth getting investing in emotionally.
