''Walking on Sunshine'' is a 2014 British JukeboxMusical romantic comedy film. It stars Hannah Arterton, Annabel Scholey, Giulio Berruti, Katy Brand, Creator/GregWise, Giulio Corso, Danny Kirrane, and Music/LeonaLewis, and was directed by William Pym and Dania Pasquini. It's been described by many as the UK's answer to ''Film/MammaMia'' (despite the movie not being based on a popular stage production) and features music from popular artists from TheEighties, such as Music/{{Madonna}} and Music/WhitneyHouston.
The movie stars recent [[BritishUnis university graduate]] Taylor (Arterton), who is returning to Italy after three years of studying to reunite with an old boyfriend named Raf (Berruti) and meet up with her sister Maddie (Scholey). Maddie is engaged to an attractive local man and is planning to surprise her sister when she arrives, with the help of their old friends Lil (Brand), Elena (Lewis) and her Italian boyfriend Enrico (Corso), and Mickey (Kirrane), who are either visiting too or have emigrated to Italy.
After spying Raf on the beach, Taylor works up the courage to surprise him but is shocked to discover that her old boyfriend is now her sister's fiance. Taylor attempts to get over the shock and convinces herself that Raf was an old teenage fling but their mischievous friends are constantly setting everyone up for activities that force her and Raf to face each other. Meanwhile, an excited Maddie prepares for her wedding but soon reunites with an old boyfriend named Doug (Wise), who is desperate to reignite their relationship, much to her annoyance.
