Additional Information
Two lifelong friends discover that growing up sometimes means growing apart in this gritty British drama. Charlie (Paul Nicholls) and Justin (Roland Manookian) are a pair of best friends who grew up together in a rough-and-tumble London neighborhood, close enough that some of Charlie's pals jokingly refer to Justin as 'the wife'. Charlie and Justin are the de facto leaders of a group of toughs, including Damien (Alexis Rodney), Francis (Danny Dyer), and Tommy (Sid Mitchell), who make a living through petty theft. As the boys grow into their late teens, it becomes obvious that they are not going to be following the same paths in life. Tommy decides to join the Army and Francis loses interest in the gang after he gets serious with his girlfriend. Charlie has been going through changes of his own, especially after the death of his father (David Thewlis), and while Justin has no real ambitions beyond a life as a small-time criminal, Charlie is smart (and practical) enough to begin thinking of a different future. Charlie is offered a good-paying straight job by his cousin Hector (Richard Driscoll), and he begins pursuing a relationship with Blondie (Dani Behr), a young woman a few rungs higher on the social ladder. But as Charlie moves forward, Justin seems stuck in neutral, and as they begin to drift apart, Justin finds himself increasingly disenchanted with his best friend's new life. The supporting cast also includes Phil Daniels and Jamie Foreman.

Goodbye Charlie Bright
An early Nick Love film, and, it shows, it's a good job he learned the art of directing quickly or he would be scratching around for a job by now. Usual suspects for a British gangster-type movie, all the film needed was Bob Hoskins and Ray Winstone and it would have been a full house. The basic story is about a council state kid and his close friends and what they get up to one long, hot summer. Paul Nicholls is a revelation as the lead character especially as his main acting experience was in a 'soap', he put in a very strong performance that should have been a launching pad to a glittering career, but, maybe it will still come someday. All in all the story just plods boringly along until about half and hour from the end when infidelity rears its ugly head and life on the council estate will never be the same again. Unfortunately it is one of those films that doesn't have an ending - Charlie runs into the distance - end of film - disappointing.Read full review

Goodbye Charlie Bright
Goodbye Charlie Bright, Nick Love's 2001 rites of passage drama about a teenage group of petty criminals in a steaming South London summer, was never going to be a massive box-office hit. But it might prove to be a rather significant piece in the long run. If Paul Nicholls' star continues to rise as anticipated, it may well come to be seen as the film which first revealed his genuine potential as a big screen actor. The former Eastenders heartthrob turns in a fine, sensitive performance as Charlie, gradually realising that he has to find a way to escape the constraints of the life that is shaping up in front of him. However, this isn't solely a Nicholls vehicle. Roland Manookian is outstanding as Justin, the dangerous, troubled companion for whom Charlie is the only source of stability. There's another good cameo from the ever-reliable Phil Daniels as an unbalanced Falklands veteran who becomes the catalyst for the rupture in their relationship and Charlie's escape. Other familiar faces cropping up include two more Eastenders veterans Nicola Stapleton and Edna Doré, and television presenter Dani Behr who is particularly good as the nurse Charlie befriends. The story is slight, but between them, partly thanks to Love's tight direction and script, the actors in Goodbye Charlie Bright generate a rather haunting little tragicomedy with moments of real pathos which deserves a long shelf life.

Goodbye Charlie Bright (DVD 2001)
Bought the DVD from a lovely lady on ebay who refunded the money due to the dvd not playing for the first few minutes. After that it played fine and i have to say this film was great! Great acting from the lead actors Paul Nicholls and Roland Manookian. Bad boy film favourite Danny Dyer also stars in one of his first ever films. This movie is about male friendship and the lives of two South London boys as they were growing up. The things they got up to, including the drugs the stealing and the women. Another great film by director Nick Love, who then went on to make the likes of "The Football Factory" also starring Danny Dyer and Roland Manookian. This film is both heart warming and dramatic at points and really makes you see the effects of being brought up around theft and drugs. One of the characters Justin (Nicholls) is eager to escape it all and move on, but he cant due to his friendship with Justin (Manookian)....but all that changes late on in the movie when a stabbing changes the lives of both boys. Strongly recommend this short movie. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.Read full review
