Highly Overrated But Still Good
Fantastic!
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Such a pretentious and lame attempt to hipness. Diabolical script and dialogue and truly embarrassing acting. Really the worse movie I have ever seen(at the cinema). Nothing in my opinion saves this movie from being a total disaster. I saw it when it came out in a cinema in Brighton. People were walking out and there were more people chatting outside the toilets than in the auditorium! At the end there were boos and scorn from the meagre crowd left, which was quite sad as relatives of one of the main actors were present and looked really sheepish. However the movie was that bad that I really could not feel like that sympathetic with them. Everybody has to start from somewhere and their son started off his acting career with this truly awful attempt at 'Tarantinism made in the UK'. 5 years have gone bye, but sometimes I still cringe at the memory of that sad night at the movies! This is a movie with no redeeming features whatsoever! I gave it a 1 as 0 was not available. They should invent a 'shameometer' for everybody involved in this sorry mess of a movie. I know some of them have moved on to better things, the positive thing is that none of them could have sank any lower than this.
"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.
I rented this film from a local shop on a whim, not expecting much. My housemates and I watched and loved it, every one of us. Maybe it's because we can relate as late-working, unambitious slackers; however I think that it was the spot-on acting, funny and likeable characters, great writing, and unique freshness of this film that made it so good.If you like a good, intelligent comedy, check this out.
I believe I'm the first American to comment on this film, so here's an impression from someone who lives on the other side of the Atlantic.I just saw this film in the Philadelphia Festival of World Cinema, so it's starting to make the rounds of the festival circuit over here. It really deserves a general release because it is quite a well-made film, especially for a debut feature. All four leads were great and their dialogue was funny and clever. As a comedy, it is very observant. As a study of the desperation that can set in when you work in a meaningless job, it is spot on.In retrospect, I realize that some of the plot points could have been cleared up without all that much fuss (e.g. if Sean had called his girlfriend), but this is how real people act. Sometimes they do stupid things or play avoidance games. It's called life. And if other things seemed contrived (e.g. the fact that the two other girls turned out to be best friends), that's why there's this disclaimer at the end that states it is a work of fiction. Personally, I had no problem with going along for the ride, even with the bad '80s station on the radio.There are times when I find it hard to understand why people get so riled up about things that they dislike. This is one of those times.
