Ardent fans of musicals swear by the funny and emotional storyline of the 2008 film Mamma Mia! for its brilliant fusion of the hit 70s ABBA songs. Anyhow, if someone were to look beyond the musical drama for a similar experience, they can always call on the 2014 romcom Walking on Sunshine. 

The only difference between the two is that Mamma Mia! was powered by the music of the 70s, and Walking on Sunshine takes a page from the 80s melodies. The rest of it is reminiscent of the 2008 musical - the light but emotional theme, the upbeat message, and the overall vibe - making one search for it right away.

So, naturally, the next step is finding the movie online to stream, and the obvious contenders are the big streaming giants like Netflix.        

According to JustWatch, the 2014 romcom Walking on Sunshine is available on Amazon Prime Video to stream in the USA and eighteen other countries. So no, the movie is not available on Netflix to stream, and people who want to see it would have to go to Prime Video to watch it. 

Other than Prime Video, Walking on Sunshine is also presently available for rent, purchase, or streaming in the US through subscriptions to Starz Apple TV Channel, Starz, Starz Roku Premium Channel, Starz Amazon Channel, Philo, YouTube, Google Play Movies, and Pluto TV, according to Moviefone. Before going any deeper into the film, a few basic details about the flick need to be out in the open. 

The romcom is backed by IM Global and Vertigo Films, and is directed by Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini. The movie that stars Annabel Scholey, Hannah Arterton, and Giulio Berruti is rated PG-13 and runs for roughly one hour and thirty-seven minutes. The film was released on June 27, 2014.

Nevertheless, these details are not as important as the plot itself, and the plot promises a fun and carefree time with good music. 

Walking on Sunshine, as mentioned earlier, is set to well-known hit tunes from the 1980s, and to top it off, there is a beautiful and charming seaside town, Puglia, in modern-day Italy, to serve as the backdrop. The entire setting is aesthetically pleasing. This beautiful setting leads the way to an intriguing love triangle and the basic premise of the film.  

Maddie (Annabel Scholey) is getting ready to wed the stunning Italian Raf (Giulio Berruti) after just a brief courtship and instant romance. Enter Maddie's sister, Taylor (Hannah Arterton), who, as it turns out, was involved with Raf three years ago in a brief summer fling. But there is more to the story. Raf was more than just a holiday flame; he was Taylor's one true love.

The plot seems to be straight enough with a classic love triangle in the middle, embellished with the 80s musical hits. As a musical and a romcom - the movie offers the best of both worlds. It just hits the right spot, kind of like binge-worthy Christmas musicals, which gives a feel-good vibe.
