Lines: 15 The reason I compared 'Local Hero' and 'Comfort and Joy' to 'The Coca Cola Kid' was because of some common plot lines: 1. An American goes to a foreign company to sell/propose something to its people. 2. Aids an injured animal. 3. Becomes involved in a product war. I guess it's just a matter of opinion, but I'd give 'Local Hero' the highest rating available, as opposed to 'Coca Cola Kid' which I didn't care for at all. Laura Clifford
