Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk To say you don't like an upbeat British film this unpretentiously nice is like saying you don't like tea and biscuits. Rated: 3/5 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review David Stratton The Australian There are sentimental elements, and not all the songs are top-drawer, but despite that the unlikely idea of having characters burst into song as they walk down the street or drink in a pub worked for me. Rated: 3.5/5 May 23, 2014 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The flash mob finale, with what looks like 500 dancing Edinburghers, is about the most fun I've had in a cinema this year. Rated: 4/5 May 21, 2014 Full Review Jamie Neish CineVue A convivial and well-shot musical that forms a narrative and articulates the variable emotions of its characters through upbeat, crowd-pleasing pop songs to varying degrees of success. Rated: 3/5 Aug 13, 2018 Full Review Camilla Long Sunday Times (UK) By the time you get to the saccharine finale, it's turned into The X Factor, but with kilts. Rated: 3/5 Mar 6, 2018 Full Review Francesca Rudkin New Zealand Herald This is bright, breezy and charming entertainment at its best, even if you're not a mad fan of the musical genre. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
