Synopsis

This feature documentary chronicles the last days of Dispatch, quite possibly the biggest band that never signed with a record label. In a time of upheaval in the music industry, their do-it-yourself style started a grassroots fan phenomenon that is changing the way indie bands (and record labels) do business. The band's final concert, "The Last Dispatch" drew 110,000 fans from every U.S. state and 20 foreign countries for one last free show in Boston in July of 2004.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
besttripproductions This was worth the trip to Boston. By far the best show I've ever seen. There were kids hanging from the trees, even I swam in the Charles River(only to find out later it's one of the dirtiest rivers I could have ever jumped in.The DVD gives the show the credit it deserves. I only gave it an 8 though because they cut a lot of songs out of the two shows that really should have been there.I didn't even know about the other show until we got the DVD. Both shows though, fantastic views of each on the DVD.mad love for dispatch.
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.
MMBryan41 I saw a prescreening of Last Dispatch and I really love this movie. For those of you that are not familiar with the band, this movie tells the story of Dispatch as they prepare to play their final concert after a 2 year hiatus. The film shows the 12 days leading up to the concert and tells how the band was started, why they are done, and how they became a successful band without ever signing to a major label. Dispatch is truly a band that did things their own way. They never listened to those people that told them they could not succeed in the music industry without the backing of a major label. On July 31st, 2004 they proved the industry wrong when 110,000 people showed up to Boston to say goodbye to the band they all loved. It is a story about following your dreams and always believing in yourself. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who has ever heard the band as well as those who just love music. Everyone can appreciate what these guys did and the message that they delivered to 110,000 people last July.
