You won't be disappointed!

Just perfect...

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Very predictable teen coming of age film. Borrows heavily from films like it before. Only this one is in the Surfing World. Dealing with life unfortunate events. Acting besides Harmon and Olsem was mediocre at best. However while not great Sumpter showed enough to secure himself future roles. Olsen GF plot seemed like a after thought an really her role was negligible. It was never really expanded on much. Other than to fill yet another predicable plot moment. Perhaps they meant to go another direction then a script change was introduced later on. Some cool surfing scenes This was a direct to DVD movie and it shows.Still not a bad movie just not that great.Olsen supporting cast his buddies performances where spotty. Them only had bit parts and were just used as fillers. Overall its just a average film at best. If its on the budget rack and you need something to watch i guess it will do. I caught it on network TV myself.

I enjoyed this movie and yes, I'm a real surfer who is widely known in the surfing world. I'm not a movie critic and really don't care that there some minor mistakes, the theme itself made up for the problems. This film reminded me of many trips, surf sessions, and other things we used to do. I still drive groms to the beach, give them hints, help them along, and yes I've even given a few boards away. Don't think it doesn't happen as it happens all the time. Ask Chuck Linnen about how many groms he's taken under his wing over the years. Some became US and even world champions.Some may find fault with how surfers bargain for boards in the movie. Sorry but Dick Dale reminded me of my mentor Dale Velzy selling boards in Huntington Beach back in the early 60s.

In quite possibly the worst movie of all time, 'Local Boys' attempts to capitalize on the current surfing movie fad (Blue Crush etc.) but ends up creating one hell of a mess. The plot is overly corny and predictable and the acting can be summed up as terrible. Humorous moments include: "Skeet" calling someone a "squid-dick" and the boys looking out onto a wave-less Mexico beach, only for 6ft barrels to appear in the very next shot. The movie winds up becoming a comedy as you ponder how a movie could be so bad. I would rather nail gun my tongue to a 2x4 than sit through this one again. Warning: STAY AWAY. Rating: 1/10

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!
