Local Boys Reviews
some good surfing
I had to take off one point for amateurish photography and videotaping. There was a lot of good surfing, but I think a better beach with bigger waves could of been chosen. This movie has Jeremy Sumpter filmed in 2002, I liked his acting in this movie, but it was not as good as his acting in Peter Pan (2004). If you're just curious, then rent the movie before choosing to buy it.
Very Entertaining
I like surf movies but find very few of good quality. If you want great surf scenes, watch the documentaries like Step into Liquid. But this movie combines an easy to follow plot with exceptional Southern California surfing. For the hard core surfers there won't be enough surf scenes. But for movie viewers who want surf action, you'll be quite pleased. A vast improvement over Big Wednesday IMO but not up to Blue Crush which I think has the greatest scenes from a nondocumentary.
But this is a movie with quality actors that is story driven and reminded me of growing up near the ocean with my brother that is the real treat here. Yes, they have more problems with tragic deaths in two families but they also have plenty of attractive people to fill the screen. In particular, the love interest of Randy adds quite a bit to the scenery.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie even though the plot is predictable. The actors are fine and it's a great story with a great conclusion. I recommend it for light family fare and for those looking for quality surf action.
