Charity

If it begins at home, it ends in the street.

The idea has the advantage of simplicity, but fails to expand beyond the obvious. Wherever you look, there are worthy, polite young people preying on your guilt and trying, in the nicest possible way, to extract money from you for their better-than-good causes. The question is, what do you do? Ignore them and feel like a jerk, or sign up to a pay-later soul saver scheme and feel less of a meanie for five minutes?

The twist in the tale is too mundane to crash the boredom barrier and the actors remain in their own skin. The filming is competent, without stimulating the imagination. There is the look of student-time-out here, as if someone is saying, "If we do another take, it'll cost you a pint, mate."
