Late Night Shopping (2001) is a comedy funded by FilmFour Productions. The film is about four young friends (Sean, Vincent, Jody and Lenny) who all work the graveyard shifts in various soul-killing jobs (the hospital, a supermarket, a factory and a call center, respectively) then meet up in a cafe after their shift to talk about nothing and generally kill time.

Synopsys
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Each of them have very little of a life, apart from their tedious jobs and meeting each other in the cafe. Sean hasn't met his girlfriend for 3 weeks and is beginning to wonder if she still lives in his apartment. Vincent is a womanizer who makes a rule of never seeing a girl more than three times. Lenny thinks of every woman he see's as a porn actress but can't even pluck up the courage to talk to a workmate that he wants to ask out for a date. Jody can't force herself to tell the other three that she was fired from her job, but still shows up after her "shift" every night to talk.
The film has a couple of UK-known actors, most particularly James Lance (playing Vincent) who has appeared in a series of I'm Alan Partridge, a series of Teachers and an episode of Spaced. Kate Ashfield (playing Jody) will most likely be recognised as Liz from Shaun Of The Dead and the new show Secret Smile.
