Sorry, this movie sucks

How sad is this?

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

OK I caught this film halfway through, but.oh.dear.god.it.sounds.like.they're.all.reading.from.scripts.Especially that guy who is now in Teachers and the Book Group, although at least he has proved that he can act if he wants to! (the part where someone has a heart attack stands out as a bastion of bad film making both in terms of acting, scripting and general plausibility) It quite clearly appears to be a cash-in on Human Traffic, but whilst that is not the best film ever, it is at least original and had actors whose delivery did not resemble that of earnest-yet-hopeless GCSE students trying to get a pass grade. Not so much as Human Traffic as a bit of a car crash!

As far as films go, this is likable enough. Entertaining characters, good dialogue, interesting enough story. I would have really quite liked it had I not been irritated immensely whilst watching at the utter disrespect it shows the city it is set in.Glasgow. In Scotland. Yet every character is English (save for Sean's girlfriend, who is Dutch). Scottish accents are heard only fleetingly in menial jobs & roles. As a Scottish woman (& as a viewer who likes her "real life" films to be a bit more like real life) I really don't think it would have hurt to use any one of the countless talented Scottish actors...or at least got English ones who could toss together a decent accent! The futile attempt at using the word "wee" a few times did nothing but to further the insult.

I watched "Late Night Shopping" one night, then put it on the next night, and the next. Ridiculous plot lines and endearing characters make for quite a funny film. I love the idea that you could be living with someone and never see them. I love the questions posed (which happen to be quite pertinent to twenty-somethings, or anyone working a dead-end job): "And then what?" "So, what now?" Well, if you don't know the answer to those questions, you can at least put on this film and have a laugh. If you liked 'Garden State' you will most likely enjoy this film. The classic 80's songs only add to the hilarity. An entertaining way to spend a few hours. Just watch it. You'll see what I mean. Highly recommended. Enjoy.

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.
