She’s not ready to act her age.

Doris Miller (Academy Award-winner Sally Field) is a shy, eccentric 60-something woman, living alone following the death of her mother, whom she has lived with for her whole life. At the funeral, her brother Todd and his wife Cynthia try to persuade her to sell the house, especially the possessions, as she is a hoarder. Her only close friend is the fiery Roz (Tyne Daly), though she also gets along with Roz’s granddaughter Vivian (Isabella Acres).

On her way to work, where she has been doing data entry for decades, she meets new young co-worker John (Max Greenfield), with whom she is immediately infatuated. Empowered by self-improvement tapes, Doris decides to go after him.
