Overall, this movie provides 90 minutes of light-hearted fun. It's predictable and silly, but at the same time cute and entertaining. The first movie was a modern version of mostly the first Hanni & Nanni book, following the original story closely. Unfortunately, the filmmakers felt the need to stray from the books and invent unnecessary villains, far-fetched subplots, and chaos for the sequel, so it lost some of its charm. I wish they hadn't done that. I also missed some of the students from the previous movie. If you liked the first movie, you will probably enjoy this one, just not quite as much.
This movie is absolutely delightful (and that is not a word I regularly use for anything). I enjoyed every moment of it and based on the laughs, sighs, and "oh no, don't do that"'s I heard, the rest of the audience did as well.
It's a coming of age story with an extremely late bloomer as the main character. We're all used to young teenagers acting irrationally around their crushes and may even remember our own embarrassing missteps. Now picture a hilariously kooky Sally Field going through the same motions while being advised by a 13 year old and you have "Hello, My Name Is Doris".
Most of the audience members seemed to be upwards of 50, but anyone old enough for romance can relate to the story. In fact, Sally Field's age almost doesn't matter - it's only an extra obstacle she has to overcome while wooing her crush (and there are many). All of her personal struggles make sense for someone her age and with her background, but could also apply to someone in their 30s.
The whole cast is amazing and there is great chemistry between Max Greenfield and Sally Field (who is absolutely stunning). I also enjoyed seeing Tyne Daly as the best friend and hating Wendi McLendon-Covey as the pushy, uncaring sister-in-law.
While the expression "roller-coaster of emotions" is a bit cliché, it definitely fits in this case. There are some powerful moments that bring on the feels as well as many laugh-out-loud ones. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time and 10/10 hardly seems enough. If you like coming-of-age stories, then this is a Must See for sure!
