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.
