Annapolis
Dreaming of attending the U.S. Naval Academy in Maryland, a young man finally narrowly makes the cut and becomes one of the 1,200 applicants selected for the freshman class. However, once there, he begins to suffer from self-doubt and wonders if he can truly measure up to the standards held by the revered institution.

The movie plays out with the same martial drumbeat inevitability of a parade march.

Annapolis is less like a movie than a virus -- one that clings so tenaciously to its host genre that it begins to take on the characteristics of a real movie, even though it's just faking.

What Annapolis really is, more than a college movie or a boot-camp movie, is a boxing movie, and a run of the mill one at that.

Character development and narrative substance are absent in this wispy movie about beefcake and getting a knack for teamwork in an oppressive atmosphere.

Jake [is] forced to swallow his pride and ask girly Brewster to train him. It's a marginally subversive moment in a movie that otherwise falls in line.

Annapolis throws the same punches as many of its inspirational fellow cadets and almost, but not quite, wins the fight.

This isn't as much a movie as it is a recipe for a cinematic casserole in which the ingredients are clichés and rip-offs.

Judging Annapolis by its most appealing attributes (among all the cliches): It's not bad superficially, but neither is it all that it could be.

...basically a military-recruitment commercial.

Annapolis has the seeds of a good, if derivative, film in it, but gives that up in favor of being a mediocre boxing film.
