Local Boys

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.

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!

This is by far the best surfing movie I have ever seen. It has a great story and a perfect cast. Jeremy Sumpter and Eric Christian Olsen work GREAT together as brothers.

Jeremy Sumpter is a very gifted actor. He is unbelievably talented. This movie is just good,clean entertainment,and we could definately use more movies like this nowadays. > Also,the surfing rocks! Mark Harmon has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. I'm not sure I agree with his moustache though. It would've looked better on him if it was shorter on the sides. I love the opening sequence,with Skeet (Jeremy Sumpter) riding his skim board near the shore. Skim boarding is fun to do, and fun to watch!

I'm giving it an 11 out of 10! I SERIOUSLY recommend this to any surfing fans,surf movie fans, and anyone who likes great entertainment and hot beaches!

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!!

Great coming of age on the beach surfing movie, the usual ups and downs of male teens and growing up. Troubled little brother has a mentor who is a famous surfer. Excellent movie.
