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

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

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 Jun 6 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 Dale S Mar 27 i think the movie was good! great songs! i dont get the bad reviews??? it’s not as bad as they say 🤍 See more Soph W 04/26/2024 My childhood favourite.

I genuinely don’t understand how you could hate it See more Cristian F 04/06/2024 Brilliant must watch film, thoroughly enjoyed it See more Jamie j 10/26/2023 It was a good fun daft film.
