A retail fairy tale set in the world of fashion. Kate's dream is to design for couture houses, but although she's a bright new talent, she can't get a job. No one trusts the daughter of Lee Kassell, a retail guru who markets clothes "inspired" by the very designers Kate wants to work for. Who wants a spy among the sequins and stilettos? Reluctantly, Kate joins the family business where she must navigate around her duplicitous stepmother and two wicked stepsisters, but with help from a prince of a guy in the shoe department, a god-brotherly gay pal in the design office, her godmother's vintage clothes, and a shocking switch of identities, Kate exposes the evil trio, saves her father's company, and proves that everyone can wear a fabulous dress.
Leave your thoughts about After the Ball.
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghIf 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." |
| L.A. WeeklyPete Vonder Haar[A] movie that curiously attempts to humanize an aloof industry by associating it with a 17th-century fairy tale. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Nathalie AtkinsonTitular ball scene, fancy dress makeover and lost stiletto shoe notwithstanding, the chaste nominal romance is less interesting than the fun, family-friendly Shakespearean shenanigans are. |
| NOW TorontoSusan G. ColeIt's predictable and a little bit ridiculous, but After The Ball is a lot of fun. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardIt's pretty much a one-joke effort that wants to be The Devil Wears Prada but plays more like a middling episode of a TV sitcom. |
| Winnipeg Free PressRandall KingDoubleday is a game gamine, and as the wicked stepsisters Hopkins and Krill manage to steal some scenes and win some laughs. Certainly, they help compensate for the film's witty/helpful/catty gay characters. |
| National PostChris KnightI mean, give writers Jason Sherman and Kate Melville points for finding a way to shoehorn the Cinderella lost-slipper gag into the screenplay. But then take those points away for the very same reason. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanAfter the Ball is one-third Cinderella, one-third The Devil Wears Prada, and one third Twelfth Night. If you're going to attempt to duplicate the success of such works, you've got to be a little sharper than it ends up being. |
| Common Sense MediaTracy MooreCinderella offshoot has dull characters, predictable plot. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreA frothy little nothing of a Canadian updating of “Cinderella” set in the Canadian fashion industry. But the shoe doesn’t quite fit in this slow-footed farce, a vehicle for pretty blonde Portia Doubleday (“Youth in Revolt”). |
