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

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."

1.5/5

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

2/5

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.

1/10

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.

Cinderella offshoot has dull characters, predictable plot.

The negative reviews of this modern day Cinderella are bogus. Portia Doubleday (Angela in Mr. Robot) is an absolute doll, the evil stepsisters were hysterical and it had a really good ending. This is a charming little rom-com to be sure and I'm calling it a Top 10 Hidden Gem!

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!
