Nonureva Really Surprised!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

swimtrend This movie was amazing! It was great to see the story of how they became friends and what brought them to where they are. They are quite possibly the best band I have ever heard! I love all their music and every concert I went to was unbelievable! The movie showed those people that are new fans what it was like and those people that weren't fans the amazing thing they missed out on. It was awesome to sit in the theater and hear people around you sing the songs and point themselves out at some of the concerts. Seeing the sea of people that we were all surrounded by at the Last Dispatch was mind blowing. I wish they had put in a bit more music from the Somerville theater show and the Last Dispatch show but I guess that is why they have those other movies. I loved every last minute of this movie. It was a perfect closing to this chapter of the dispatch story!

pauldonnelly64 Great film for those who've come to know and love this extraordinary band. The only sad part is watching them play and interact with each other and realizing they are no longer creating great music(together, that is.) Although the film offered the occasional insight as to why the guys called it quits, the film focused on the music and didn't get bogged down in any kind tearful melodrama. As stated in my summary, it was very upbeat and the boys kept it real(did we expect anything less?!) Saw the midnight premier at the Somerville Theatre and it was definitely well received by all those in attendance. A must see for any Dispatch fan.

m_wilhelm the movie's sick... whether you're a fan of the band or not, the film's about more than that - it's about 3 guys following their dream. for anyone who has ever called an artist a "sellout" for signing with a major label, this movie's for you. it's a story about integrity, about doing things your own way, and shocking the establishment. it shows the band members rehearsing together for the first time in 2 years, writing some new songs, unsure if 5,000 people are going to come out or 30,000 - and then 110,000 people showed up the band's final show, a free concert at the hatch shell in boston, shutting down storrow drive (the major road right off the highway through the city)! "last dispatch" is easily my favorite music documentary - i liked it even more than the ones about bands that i listen to regularly. go see it!

Matt Isaacs I saw this movie at the pre-screening at Plymouth State University on April 22, 2005 and, trust me, it's very excellent. The film focuses on the reunion of the members of Dispatch in preparation for their final concert, "The Last Dispatch", on July 31st, 2004 in Boston, MA. You don't have to be a fan of the band to be captivated by the great story of three musicians who managed to rise out of the crowd with sheer talent and commitment, cementing their place in music history without ever signing with a record label. The film has the perfect mix of humor and drama as the band members' unique interests clash and the tension mounts before the final show. The film is particularly enjoyable to any of the 110,000 fans who attended the amazing final show, but I also highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates music, Dispatch or otherwise.
