Written By: Laura Terruso and Michael Showalter based off the short film "Doris and the Intern" by Laura Terruso

A 60 something year old woman, named Doris, is released from her lifetime responsibility of taking care of her mother after she passes. She has spent so long in her own world that she hasn't really realized how much the wold has changed. She starts to develop a crush on a 20 something boy who just got transfers o her company. After a self-help seminar, and some guidance fro her best friend's teenage niece, she stars making a plan for this boy to fall for her. In the process she gets reintroduced to the world and starts to realize how much she has missed out on life. All while realizing how much she has held onto with her hording problem in her private life.

This movie is one of the best this year. It's depiction of life being "fair" and "unfair" in refreshing to say the least. That the fact that Doris is now getting to experience a life she didn't know she was missing. It's such a great, and unique, tale to tell. It was charming, witty, and absolutely hysterical.
