I think «at» is probably wrong, and the accepted set phrase is definitely «look on the bright side». I think it is because one is not looking at a concrete «bright side» but it is somewhat akin to a general location or direction, as in «look on the left», or «look on the top».

That saying is completely unknown to me. I see usages of it are reasonably numerous on the web, but virtually none (as a set phrase) can be found on UK sites. Is this common in the US? From what I can see, though, «at» appears to be appropriate, as it doesn’t seem to refer to a general outlook (as «look on the bright side» does), but describes a way of looking at something in particular:
Take a look at the bright side of education
Take a look at the bright side of 2009

However, some examples merely seem to be a misrepresentation of «always look on the bright side of life»:
always take a look at the bright side of life

„Always look on the bright side of life.“

When I read “Always look on the bright side of life”, the song of the same title immediately got stuck in my head. The song is great and so are its lyrics. Although it was originally featured in Monty Pythons comedy movie “Life of Brian”, it is also commonly played at funerals. When people are having a hard time, it is very important to never let them forget that there will be better times again soon.

The melody and the words often help me to get through a rough day or to forget a bad mood too. In the following essay, I will discuss the benefits of using this quote as a personal motto.

For many people, including me, the quotation “Always look on the bright side of life” is also a personal motto. Everyday, you are surrounded by many pessimistic people and negative environments. It is your own choice whether you are going to be happy or not.

People tend to blame other people for their unhappiness, which is ridiculous. It is very important that you are able to be happy on your own and that you do not need others to make you that. As for myself, I try very hard to live my life like an optimist and to not let other people’s moods and negative thoughts influence me in a negative way. Of course, I am not optimistic about every single situation.

However, generally, I am making efforts in keeping my chin up and not letting others influence my good mood in a bad way.

On the contrary, it is not difficult for me to be cheered up by other people when I am grumpy or disheartened. There are some days of course on which I wish everyone not to cross my way for his or her best because I know for sure that otherwise I would break out in tears or have an outburst of rage. However, I can say that I am a happy and well-balanced person most of the time.

Choosing to see things in life positively is a view of life. Mankind strives to achieve happiness and it should always be our first goal but many people fail to reach this goal by seeing things negatively the whole time and being upset about things they cannot change anyway. Always looking on the bright side of life is the key to happiness.

Alternately titled ‘All Things Dull and Ugly’.

Written by Monty Python member Eric Idle in 1979 for the film Monty Python’s Life of Brian, the song is a parody of Disney “feel happy” tunes such as “Give A Little Whistle”, especially given the context of the song in the film: being sung by a crowd being crucified to the protagonist who is also on the verge of dying on the cross.

As laid out in Eric Idle’s autobiography, appropriately titled “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, Idle wrote this song when he and the writers of ‘Life of Brian’ realised that they had backed themselves into a corner, with the film ending as the main character is being crucified along with many others. So they decided to end with a ridiculously cheery tune, to conclude the film on a happy note. Idle went home that evening and wrote “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, using jazz chords he had learned through the “Micky Baker Jazz Guitar Course” book.

Initially it was recorded in London, with the Fred Tomlinson singers doing the backing vocals, Neil Innes doing the whistling and Idle doing the main vocal part. However it was only when filming the movie in Tunisia that Idle realised the song should be sung by his recurring character “Mr. Cheeky”, a cockney character, parodying the lighting men from the set. And so he re-recorded the main vocal part in the voice of Mr. Cheeky in his hotel room in Tunisia, on a small recording device. And that is the version heard on the record.

It has since become a mainstay of funerals (including the Pythons’ own Graham Chapman), sporting events, and was even used on the stage adaptation of Monty Python’s other famous movie, Spamalot (sung by Patsy as he tries to cheer Arthur up after the knights get lost and separated in a “dark and very expensive forest”).
