Walking on Sunshine Reviews
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.

Arterton, blonde sister of Gemma, is pallid from every angle, while Scholey feels like a backing singer who, for some reason, has been booted centre stage.

It's as if the screenwriter and the directors looked at Mamma Mia! and thought: "Let's do that again, but make it horrible and bad and ill-considered."

The overkill is almost compelling. Like a storm-follower you want to sit right in its eye. But be warned.

It comes to life rarely.

Six scenes end with someone falling hilariously into a swimming pool. I minded enough to keep a tally, but not enough to bear a grudge. It's that kind of film.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2014
Ruthlessly calculated to deliver a-million-percent-feelgood.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 24, 2014
A cornball '80s jukebox movie with little of the unselfconscious charms of Mamma Mia!.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 23, 2014
With its "Mamma Mia"-esque setup and pop playlist of '80s hits, this jukebox musical offers bubble-gum fun in the sun.
