fannyvanelewijck Yes we need more movies like this. Great acting, beautiful actors. Sun,sea,sand,surf...a beautiful story,what more do you need? I recently discovered this movie while researching Mark Harmon(Ihope Dave the dog is alright). I was able to watch the movie via streaming, the great story compensated the low resolution.
Bobbycenturion My friend gave me a copy of this movie, and it was really good! I liked all the relationships in the movie! Eric Christian Olsen and Jeremy Sumpter made a great brother team! I like Olsen in his other works, "Not Another Teen Movie" and "The Hot Chick", and Sumpter in "Peter Pan", which is one of the best movies ever made!! But "Local Boys", I enjoyed the drama in it, and how both boys were hurting, and how it was acted out, even I felt sorry for Skeet! I thought maybe the suicidal character should have gone ahead and jumped, and that would have made Skeet even more screwed up, first his dad and then this, and then Jim Wesley and Skeet's mom and Randy would work even harder to help Skeet get over his problems, that would have been cool! But good movie, good story, great acting given by all! I would have to thank Jeremy Sumpter for doing "Peter Pan" or I would never seen this great movie!!
dory215 altogether i think that this movie was pretty good. but at the same time it had its high and low parts. i enjoyed it when skeet (jeremy sumpter) found the new board where he buried his other one because the look on his face was just pure joy. but i didnt understand why wesly (mark harmon) left. because everything was going just fine. it was one of the best movies about surfers!! altogether id give this move an A-.
Sean Richard McCarthy Every minute is important in this movie! Hit the pause button when you need to go to the bathroom, because every moment counts here! Of course there is a lot of cool surfing action, but that is not all this movie is about! It is about family, emotion and standing up for what is right! If you like "Searching For Bobby Fischer" you should like this one as well! Not to mention (or should I??)--> The sound track is perfect!
