This is better than expected, but that’s not saying much….
Going into ‘Annapolis, I thought I was going to be put to sleep by 2 hours of Navy promotion and boring clichés that went out of style years ago. I got that, but ‘Annapolis’ is better than my expectations suggested. That’s not to say its a good movie; it’s just not terrible.The reason it is not terrible is a portion of the cast. James Franco manages to overcome his poorly written, formulaic lead with his hard-edged brand of acting. Vicellous Shannon has an effective supporting role as Twins, an overweight black man from Arkansas. His hometown, he explains, is counting on him to survive and pass the year. This is an unexpectedly touching subplot, and I was surprised it worked. Donnie Wahlberg and Chi McBride have good supporting roles, and many of the anonymous students are portrayed convincingly.
Unfortunately, the production is let down by three factors: The script, Tyrese Gibson, and Jordana Brewster. The script is, well, horrific. While its nice to see military students cuss, some of the racist and sexist remarks are extremely out of place. The script is a tireless formula that simply will not go away (and I don’t think I need to name said formula). Next offender: Tyrese Gibson. Tyrese is not a bad actor, but the aforementioned terrible script seems to have made him think he needed to imitate R. Lee Ermey. He does this with the subtlety of a jackhammer. Last, but not least, Jordana Brewster. I simply do not believe for one second she is a Navy Midshipman. The romance between her and Franco is laugh-inducing, and completely unrealistic (how many times have I heard military students aren’t allowed to fraternize?).
While it’s not the disaster I expected, ‘Annapolis’ still earns my dislike. There’s good stuff, but not enough.
A Real Crowd Pleaser!
ANNAPOLIS is the type of film made for the movie-going crowd, not the critics. I’m speaking of the people that plunk down the ten dollar bill to see a film and be entertained for a couple of hours. ANNAPOLIS does just that … it entertains. Its a real crowd-pleaser. James Franco will certainly make a legion of new fans with his heart-warming portrayal of Jake Huard. You can not help but root for him and want him to succeed. Jake is an everyday guy, but with movie star looks, who desperately wants the acceptance of his father, beautifully played by Brian Goodman. Its a back story also shared by another, yet totally different, character in the film. Tyrese Gibson gives another fine performance. The talented Donnie Wahlberg excels in a relatively small role. What mars the film is a forced love interest with Jordana Brewster who is totally miscast. ANNAPOLIS is a thoroughly enjoyable movie going experience, and at under two hours it doesn’t overstay its welcome. If you weren’t a James Franco fan entering the theater, you will be when you leave. You won’t be disappointed.
