The All Together

An indie movie that just oozes with cheapness. Not that it necessarily matters. But then the creators would have to be holding a good screenplay in their hands. Which they don’t and, according to what is said and what happens in the course of the movie, I sincerely don’t believe that they had a screenplay at all. The jokes don’t work, the dialogs are painful for your ears, the actors are shamefully unconvincing and the whole thing just fizzles out. The worst thing about it is Gavin Claxton’s dogged efforts at replicating the modern, tough British School in Guy Ritchie style. It’s not funny, it’s just ridiculous. The entire storyline inside the house is pure hell. On the other hand, the scenes with Martin Freeman work as well as they can in this situation, so thanks to the restrained running time, you can live with it. If the above are sufficient “positives", then give The All Together a try. You might not regret it. Might not. (05/08/2007)
