Davy and Ally have to relearn how to live in Edinburgh after serving in Afghanistan.

Critics Consensus

Sunshine on Leith is a musical so charmingly good-natured that even viewers who don't like musicals may find it difficult to resist.

3/5

To say you don't like an upbeat British film this unpretentiously nice is like saying you don't like tea and biscuits.

3.5/5

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.

4/5

The flash mob finale, with what looks like 500 dancing Edinburghers, is about the most fun I've had in a cinema this year.

3/5

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.

3/5

By the time you get to the saccharine finale, it's turned into The X Factor, but with kilts.

This is bright, breezy and charming entertainment at its best, even if you're not a mad fan of the musical genre.

I'm no Proclaimers fan or musicals for that matter but this is great fun. It's unashamedly heart on it's sleeve romanticism but I'll take that any day of the week. A little gem.

Yes yes yes! This movie was somewhat predictable but you don't care. It's hard not to root for everyone while singing along and wiping a few tears.

How on earth did that get 93%. 2 very simple problems with this film.Extraordinarily shallow characters and boring plot. Oh and why do we have to listen to The Proclaimers.
