Sweet-natured fun abounds here, as Stephen Frears tackles the true story of the worst singer ever to appear at the Carnegie Hall. It's a tremendously polished affair, naturally, from the sensible casting of the likes of Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, to the elegant sets and costumes the target audience is presumably meant to drool over. Bonus points to Frears for ensuring all the main players come across sympathetically - it would have been easy to turn Grant's character into a cad, if not an active antagonist. Not particularly my sort of thing, but your elderly mother will likely love it.
