Portia Doubleday stars in a frothy teen comedy as unobjectionable as it is unmemorable.

Seattle Times

If Shakespeare had a go at "Cinderella," and the result was later adapted for a 21st-century romantic comedy, it might look something like "After the Ball."

Rated: 3/4

Charles Bramesco

The Dissolve

For a film ostensibly attuned to the world of fashion, the film's portrayal of queer men is decidedly retro.

Rated: 1.5/5

Tries a bit too hard to please, but Doubleday has good chemistry with love interest/prince charming Marc-André Grondin and Holly has some one-dimensional fun as the villainous stepmother.

Rated: 2/5

If you want to choke on a narrative that is rife with clichés and devoid of any real moral message then stick After The Ball on. If not, there are surely more productive things you can do... Such as watching paint dry.

Rated: 1/10

Cinderella offshoot has dull characters, predictable plot.

I cannot believe this movie has such a low rating. I thought this was a great movie. If you like "feel-good" movies with a just and happy ending, check this movie out. Ignore the poor reviews. I highly recommend it!

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this. I really liked it, even when it looks like a low budget production. It works if you wanna have fun on an evening without going out.

I loved it so much I watched it twice! And I loved it just as much the second time as I did the first and now I want to watch the third time.

Knew from the beginning I was going to fall in love with this movie! This film showed that man or woman, we are all equal. It taught that no matter the circumstances always try your best, and that giving up is never the right choice!

Interesting fairy tale references in this one. Cinderella-ish really, the shoes, the godmother/witch references, the ball. It's predictable, but still family friendly, even though it was a somewhat awkward first kiss.
