November 3, 2007Little to do with the Naval academy, poor acting, less than stellar direction and not exactly what the trailer promised... So why would I give this movie 3 stars? Ok, I can be shallow~ I love looking at James Franco. *_*

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Pretty much every line in the movie comes from another movie -- 'How bad do you want it?' 'You're not good enough,' etc. And like virtually all Hollywood films about the military, Annapolis is cheerfu... full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Old-fashioned in the most dull, clunky way possible. full review
