Late Night Shopping
In the tradition of Slacker and Swingers, Late Night Shopping is a quirky, offbeat comedy, in which four friends who work the graveyard shift at dead-end jobs spend their evenings at the local café. Vincent has an eye for the ladies, while Sean and Lenny are both searching for love in all the wrong places, and Jody is stuck on an assembly line. Stuck in a twilight world, going nowhere fast, the four friends suddenly find they have more in common than they might expect, and embark on a journey that just might change their lives.

"Late Night Shopping" is a little, lukewarm Brit friends comedy which follows the lives and loves of a trio of young Glasgow guys who spend most of their time trying to figure out their lives and loves. The film wanders from pillar to post seemingly searching for its story until it settles on one couple and the reconciliation of some relationship-busting indiscretions.
Generally unengaging and monotonous at times, the film still has a solid cast and an occasional pang of poignancy or heart. "Shopping" may have some appeal for young adults, Scots or Brits, fans of the players, etc. All else pass.30 something story - Tryclops

"Late Night Shopping" is done in the style of movies such as "Swingers," "Clerk's," and other sorts of generally chatty films, except these people have great British accents. However, there is most certainly a plot, and a charming one at that. The scenes in the film all connect somehow, bringing together the lives of the characters in a very fun, and smooth, way. The four main characters are friends who initially bonded over the fact that they all work graveyard shifts at thankless jobs. However, a deep friendship has blossomed between the four, which is even more evident by the end of the film. One of the characters, Sean, is trying to save his relationship with his girlfriend -- a storyline that ends up entangling the entire group. The film is funny, bright and delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed "Late Night Shopping," and I recommend it highly.
