The All Together is a 2007comedy film written and directed byGavin Claxton and starringMartin Freeman,Corey Johnson,Velibor Topic andDanny Dyer.[1][2]
Frustrated TV producer Chris is a self-opinionated wannabe screenwriter (with a particular dislike of British films featuring quirky secondary characters and plastic gangsters) who is forced to leave his unreliable flatmate Bob in charge of showing a series of estate agents around the house he is trying to sell. Worried by Bob's habit of spending all day "working" in the basement playing loud music, Chris asks his friend to listen out for the door bell and show anyone who comes calling inside. Bob promises to do exactly that and for once, not to let him down.
Over the course of the day, whilst Chris struggles to cope with a loathsome colleague – back at the house it is soon clear that Bob is taking his promise to Chris rather too literally. Bob has indeed, allowed anyone inside, including a couple of archetypal movie-style gangsters – an incompetent young Brit played byDanny Dyer and an incontinent American.
That evening, Chris is surprised to return home and find his flatmate, four estate agents, twoJehovah's Witnesses and a terrified children's entertainer being held hostage by a couple of characters straight out of a British gangster film.
