Walking on Sunshine (2014)

This film is so wonderfull with humor, great music and acting ! It brings you back to great memmories every time you hear a familiar 80's-song :-) It is very good thought out, the songs, the dancing and staging ! Very English holiday but so much fun 8-) It's like all the 80's dancing movies (like Footloose, Grease, Dirty Dancing), you can see them over and over again :-) so I do recommend this.

It is a love comedy of musical style. Since it contains some iconic hit songs, some of them might be familiar to you. They can make it possible that you get thrilled by the story much more. Particularly, the relationship of each characters are portrayed uniquely in the drama. For example, a younger sister, the lead character, considers her oldster as trustworthy beloved person, but in the light of her love affairs, she can't help see her sister as a rival. She has been bewildered by such an unstable situation, and in other words, she has been in a dilemma whether she should betray her sister or follow her honest feeling for her ex-lover. Under such circumstance, her old sister, on the other hand, can be both protagonist and antagonist for her younger sister. The fluidity of the character's role sounds very new to me. Over all, story is very dramatic enjoyable, and some well-known songs successfully doubles its feature.

I'm not sure if this isn't too sweet even for hopeless romantics ... or that a lot of people who watched this were cynics. Now the songs used here, all have a history and are really good. Most of them even fit into the situation they are used. At least the title of the songs do. But "telling" a story (actually singing it) with lyrics that don't always fit the situation 100% is a bit of a stretch.Or you don't care at all. As you shouldn't with the predictable outcome of the movie. But that shouldn't be the issue, other movies "struggle" with that too. If you don't care about clichés and just want to listen to the songs, have at it. Rock of Ages was way better and funnier, but you have to have nuances in movies I guess

I really don't get these bad reviews. This is meant to be a fun upbeat film, which it is. You cant help just sitting with a smile on your face while you watch it. The film is so ridiculous that its amazing. The cast randomly burst out in song at inappropriate times and a lot of reviewers have stated that it wasn't good but I found it funny and endearing, it just makes you want to grin. The songs are all classic popular 80s hits that you just want to sing along with, their voices aren't amazing but they are real which I really liked it made the film more enjoyable in my opinion.I loved this film and am looking forward to its DVD release as I will be first in line to buy it. Seriously if you feel like you need a pick me up this is the film to watch.
