This is a film about people, and in films about people, the cast has to act which this cast does admirably. Those looking for glorified special effects have to look elsewhere, as this film deals with character development that advances the plotline. Mark Harmon is excellent in his role as a surfing "grease monkey," who has designs on the mother of the two main characters, one of whom is played to good advantage by a young Eric Christian Olsen. "Local Boys" is a terrific coming-of-age film that shouldn't be missed!
