Walking on Sunshine

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It desperately wants to be frothy and fun, but Walking on Sunshine is crass and calculated -- and a poor substitute for the jukebox musicals it attempts to emulate.

I am delighted to say that in the cheerily crass Walking on Sunshine we have a strong contender for the worst British movie of 2014. Go to Full Review

You may find yourself tickled, providing your toes don't curl up so far that they actually stab you in the heart. Go to Full Review

The film-makers (who also directed Streetdance) strike a frantic tempo but Walking on Sunshine is still often like treading through treacle. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
I was really rooting for this to be dope but it just wasn't. It came off as a young woman version of "Mamma Mia" without a lot of the charm. Go to Full Review
Yip Wai Yee The Straits Times (Singapore) 08/24/2018
2.5/5
An idyllic seaside holiday, a bright-eyed ingenue, a cheery retro soundtrack - all incorporated into a big-hearted musical. Sounds familiar? Go to Full Review

Frothy musical is a fun watch; some drinking, innuendo. Go to Full Review

Akuma J @Akio222 21h One of the best musical films I've ever watched! I love the storyline and character roles but I kinda don't like how things ended up especially the wedding scene BUT I love the songs they used in this film and I'm literally laughing and laughing and laughing all throughout the movie. Love it! See more Ava H. @avaharbo Jun 28 cute story but so cheezy See more Ash E @AshEve Apr 16 The male lead did nothing in this movie other than telling the sister to confront with her feelings and lying to his fiancée's face. Only Taylor was hurting to see them together. Raf didn't have any courage to either stop the wedding or confront his feelings and just went along with everything looking like a fool at the end, showing that if any girl shows interest in him he would accept it just like that. His only credits are his good looks. See more Olly H @RT57235990 Mar 23 love it!! childhood classic! love cheesy films See more Kelly F @s0trippy Jan 20 I think this movie is underrated, yes it's a little cringe but you know what it's brilliant, funny, light hearted! This movie reminds me of the simple days. See more Jay B @RT67115391 06/06/2025 A truly dreadful film. So much so it made my eyebrows meet in the middle. What a waste of Giulio Berruti, he was so mesmerizing in the Gabriel Inferno films. Shocking, if I was him I'd ask his agent if his IQ had gone into remission. See more Read all reviews
