Late Night Shopping is a British indie film directed by Saul Metzstein and released in 2001. The movie tells the story of four friends who work night shifts in a shopping center in Glasgow, Scotland. Sean (Luke de Woolfson), Vincent (James Lance), Jody (Enzo Cilenti), and Lenny (Shaun Dingwall) all have their own reasons for working at night, and they all struggle with the dullness and loneliness of their job.

The movie starts with Sean, who is going through a bad break-up with his girlfriend. Vincent, who is gay, is trying to come to grips with his own past relationships. Jody is a slacker who is more interested in playing video games than working and Lenny is an aspiring DJ.

The four friends spend most of their shifts together, talking about their lives, playing pranks on their boss, and occasionally stealing merchandise from the stores. They also spend their free time together, hanging out at a local café, watching movies, and discussing pop culture.

As the movie progresses, the four characters develop and change. Sean starts to get over his ex-girlfriend and becomes interested in a mysterious woman he sees in the shopping center. Vincent reconnects with an old flame who is now engaged to a woman. Jody decides to quit his job and pursue his dream of becoming a video game designer. And Lenny finally gets a gig as a DJ.

Late Night Shopping is a character-driven movie that explores the lives of ordinary people who work at night. It is a poignant and often funny look at the struggles of young people trying to figure out their place in the world. The performances of the lead actors are excellent, and the direction and writing are both deft and sympathetic.

One of the strengths of the movie is the way it captures the atmosphere of a shopping center at night. The empty corridors, the flickering lights, and the eerie silence create a haunting, dreamlike feel that perfectly matches the mood of the characters. The movie also makes great use of Glasgow, showcasing the city's distinctive architecture and gritty urban landscape.

Late Night Shopping is not a fast-paced movie, and some viewers might find it slow and meandering. It is also not a movie with a clear moral message or a clear resolution. But for those interested in character studies and the quiet beauty of everyday life, it is a gem of a film. It is a movie that rewards patient viewers with its subtle, nuanced portrayal of human relationships and the struggles of young adulthood.

Late Night Shopping is a 2001 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 31 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.8.
