Lovely film about being at one of life's crossroads, as told with humor and grace.

I loved this film about a young man at an emotional crossroads after graduating from High School. The performances by all the actors were great and I thought the love story was so true, and so gentle. The setting was beautifully filmed in the Hudson river valley, with New York City just down river. This is what is a real independent film should be. You just have to watch carefully and listen well, because there is a lot of subtle, sweet moments.

Remember that time we . . .

Watching "Last Ball" I was transported right back into my hometown. I loved this movie so much, I saw it twice! So have most of my friends, and we all agree that this film is something special. Not only does it look beautiful, but the characters are drawn so vividly that I felt like I knew every one of them personally. The pacing of the movie is particularly unique, and delightful: it's languid, like the camera is as reluctant as the characters to leave a familiar but enchanting place. There is so much love, loss, humor, and hope in this film, that you are guaranteed to fall in love, have your heart broken, and make an embarrassing snort sound when you laugh before it's over!

This is a truly excellent film in every way.

I saw Last Ball at the Director's View Film Festival a couple of weeks ago, where it justifiably won the grand prize for best film. This movie is really good. I so rarely see films where everything comes together perfectly, but it really did in this one. It was subtle, powerful, and funny. The nasty comments posted by "CorrGirl1027" don't ring true at all; she sounds like a disgruntled local actress who didn't get cast in the film, or she saw some other movie. "Last Ball" is fantastic, and I hope it gets distributed someday soon, since it's ten times better than most of the "indie" movies I've seen.

THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING

My friend and I saw LAST BALL at the Annapolis Reel Film Festival back in February 2004...we fell in love with it. Whoever is reading this: PLEASE MAKE THIS MOVIE AVAILABLE ON DVD! I must have a copy! I've only seen it once and I feel like I've seen it a thousand times...but really, I want to be ABLE to see it a thousand times. It was such a great story, and I hope that more people have the chance to see it! I would STRONGLY recommend this movie to anyone, it's great...and I hope the movie "gets signed" or whatever it's called to become known! It was awesome! Peter Callahan...you did a great job! As did all of the actors and actresses! EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE.

a touching, funny, altogether wonderful film about a boy growing to manhood

This is a great film! I recommend it highly to anyone who likes a good story line, an unsappy romance, solid character development, great acting, beautiful photography, and a poignant ending.

The films captivates right from the start. I was drawn into the small town world of the main character and his sidekicks as they went about their daily quirky, yet very real lives.

The humor is p-e-r-f-e-c-t! The love story -- quite lovely. All in all a terrific film.
