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.

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

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

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.

An idyllic seaside holiday, a bright-eyed ingenue, a cheery retro soundtrack - all incorporated into a big-hearted musical. Sounds familiar?

Frothy musical is a fun watch; some drinking, innuendo.

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!

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.

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.
