Michael Showalter is known for his outlandish humor, specializing in the kind of awkward comedy that makes you cringe. He first broke into the comedy scene on MTV’s sketch-comedy show "The State," going on to write such strange comedies as "Wet Hot American Summer" and "The Baxter." His latest film is equally quirky but ultimately rooted in more emotional ground. Based on a short film by Laura Terruso — who co-wrote this adaptation with Showalter — "Hello, My Name is Doris" is a film that exposes the raw humanity beneath its hilarity.
