Synopsis
Starring Danny Dyer (The Business, Human Traffic, Dead Man Running, City Rats) as gangster Dennis and Martin Freeman (Sherlock Holmes, The Office, The Hobbit). Leaving his flatmate Bob to let in estate agents to view his house may just be the worst mistake of Chris's (Martin Freeman) life. Taking his instructions to 'let everyone in' a little too literally, Bob ends up with quite a full house. When up-coming gangster Dennis (Danny Dyer) and his shady associate turn up, Bob mistakes them for estate agents and - welcoming them into the house - accidentally triggers a hostage situation. Little does Chris realise while he is having the day from hell working for his pretentious, dwarf-fearing TV boss, that four estate agents, two Jehovah's Witnesses and a children's entertainer are being held captive at his house.

Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentary, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Martin Freeman, Corey Johnson and Velibor Topic helm the unabashedly rude, gross-out crime comedy The All Together. As the story opens, successful television producer Chris Ashworth (Freeman) leaves his home to head off to work, and puts his boarder, the Bosnian immigrant Bob (Topic), in charge of showing the home to real estate appraisers. An eccentric taxidermist who makes his living from stuffed models of copulating animals, Bob is also untrustworthy and lazy; he nonetheless consents to Chris's request, which frees up Chris for the rest of the day and provides a much needed relief from stress. Meanwhile, in another part of town, the thug Dennis Earle (Danny Dyer) chauffeurs an American criminal associate, Mr. Gaspardi (Corey Johnson) to the airport, when Gaspardi grows violently ill - the result of curry eaten the night before - and declares that he must find a toilet in which to vomit. The two decide to find a bathroom in a nearby house, and happen upon Chris's house. Their visit, of course, falls right in the middle of the real estate tour, and a series of subsequent mishaps set the stage for a violent and outrageously messy afternoon. ...The All Together

I couldn't rent this title so had to buy the DVD. Sure, this is a very low budget movie but that said it's completely original, smartly written and very funny. Martin Freeman is excellent as always but I reckon it's the supporting cast that really makes this weird little picture so much fun. Everyone is so obviously enjoying themselves and this translates on to the screen.
Pretty short but really enjoyable.

Made on half a shoestring... ok so there's a hole or two in it, but it's weird and it's funny and becomes more so the more times you see it. Freeman well supported in what is an ensemble piece. Very unfairly criticized by Dyer-haters on release, should become a cult classic. Give it a miss if you're a bit thick or narrow-minded - oh and your granny probably won't like it either. Otherwise, enjoy!

I purchased "The All Together" as part of Martin Freeman's back catalogue available on DVD. Had it not been for him playing one of the main characters, I wouldn't have touched this film as I found the synopsis anything but inspiring. Having watched the DVD, I still wouldn't consider this the best film of all times but Martin Freeman's presence in it definitely elevates it to more than watchable status (for me anyway).
What better beginning to a film can a Martin Freeman fan ask for than a voiceover by the man himself, accompanying a shot of him in bed, followed by a series of gorgeous facial close-ups. Even if you say differently in the commentary, Martin, no need to hate them, rest assured!
Watching the DVD, I was a bit suspicious if Moffat/Gatiss had seen the film before penning their brilliant `Sherlock', because Martin's role reminded me more than a bit of Dr Watson: a study in exasperation, self-control and saintly patience. Martin is just so skilled in portraying those emotions in the most perfect and believable way. There is even a truly Sherlockian fridge scene in this - enough said.
I was surprised to learn from the commentary that the film was shot within 18 days, in a mid-terrace house, on an extremely low budget. Martin Freeman fans will be delighted to see that his real-life partner Amanda is excellently cast in a supporting role as social worker Sarah who is asked out by Martin's character in the most appalling and hilarious way. Even one of his dachhunds, Archie, gets his 20 seconds of fame.
Martin Freeman aside, this is a genuinely funny movie if you can ignore the gross bits (I, like Martin Freeman, "don't like the vomit"). It's well worth watching if you can pick it up cheaply. Due to Martin Freeman's presence in the movie, providing me with so many laugh-out-loud moments, I must award five stars. If I wasn't a MF fan, I'd probably give it three stars.
