Annapolis

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

...basically a military-recruitment commercial.

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.
