 Annapolis 2006   PG-13, 108 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Justin Lin
Cast: James Franco, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Donnie Wahlberg, Vicellous Reon Shannon, Roger Fan, Wilmer Calderon, McCaleb Burnett, Chi McBride, Jim Parrack, Brian Goodman, Charles Napier
A shipyard welder, Jake Huard (James Franco) dreams of becoming a midshipman at the Naval Academy. Many doubt his ability to perform the duties of a Naval officer, but Jake does get accepted and begins his plebe year. Jake encounters problems from Lt. Cole (Tyrese Gibson) whose constant harassing upsets Jake. The solution: Jake will fight Cole in the Brigade Championship boxing match. Lessons learned in this film are a far cry from those given at the real-life Naval Academy, and the U.S. Navy declined participation in this film's preparation. 1 User Review
