Storyline

After the Ball, a retail fairy tale set in the world of fashion. Kate's dream is to design for couturier houses. Although she is a bright new talent, Kate 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.

Far more juvenile and unrealistic than most TV movies
20 July 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Honestly, After the Ball was difficult to watch. It was so unrealistic and silly - to the extent of being juvenile - that it was difficult to be engaged in the movie. And I am accustomed to watching a lot of TV movies and lower my standards appropriately.

Its problems are

  • simple, one-note characters




  • a ridiculous plot with characters acting in completely unrealistic


ways

  • no chemistry between the romantic leads




  • dialogue that sounds as if it was written by children




  • an insulting depiction of the fashion industry




  • an insulting depiction of parents (clueless) and step-parents (so


evil and malicious that they nonsensically behave in ways that hurt themselves)

This is fit for young children. However, if you're an adult, consider surfing the other channels. I'm sure you'll find something that deserves your time more than this. I mean, Really.
