The only thing you have to worry about is reciprocity, but with print film, even that isn't much of an issue.

Tom slipped an important point in with his posting. It's very, very easy to forget about reciprocity failure. With color negative films their latitude may keep overall negative density acceptable, however color shift is also common (when the color layers suffer reciprocity failure differently). I recommend checking the desired film(s) data sheet(s) if exposure is anticipated to be longer than 1 second. Definitely check the data sheet if anticipating exposures of 10 seconds or longer!
