A New York socialite who dreams of becoming a great opera singer. While the voice she hears in her head is beautiful, to everyone else it is hilariously awful.

But when Florence stages a huge concert at Carnegie Hall, he faces his greatest challenge to make sure her performance is a rousing success.

Unfortunate submitted by mandevil on February 18, 2017, 9:47pm There are some movies that shouldn't be made and this is one of them. It's about a rich woman who cant sing and we get to hear her try, over and over. Dreadful.
Okay submitted by DL on June 22, 2017, 1:07pm Don't have the volume on high, the singing will be hard to handle.
Love the acting, hard to take the singing submitted by gjwilson on June 22, 2017, 3:24pm I'm glad I saw it, but the singing really is hard to take...
singing???? submitted by rjsjwilliams on June 25, 2017, 12:22pm A COMEDY -- remember this when Meryl Streep starts to sing. Florence, in her head, sings beautifully and to her husgand, she sings beautifully. But!!!!!!!!! How will her husband stage a concert at Carnegie Hall with all her friends, as Florence plans, and save face for Florence.
Funny-true story

PITCHY..as they said on American Idol.
Does the husband protect his wife....because she's the money train for him??!!
Or despite the inability to sing....who says you shouldn't TRY, especially when you love it.
Too often we tell people early in an attempt that they've not good at something....then they give up before they practice.
In this case, she was NEVER going to be good...only in her dreams, but it was fun watching her husband and pianist cover for her.
Laugh and enjoy Meryl's good acting.
