Most of the people I know who saw this movie were not just disappointed, they were disgusted.   You don't often find people angry at a movie because they generally stay away from movies they know they won't like. But previews of "Annapolis" looked interesting,  so a lot of people, including me, gave it a look.

  
It turned out to be bad, very bad. The plot was wrong, the dialog was wrong, the acting, well, there was no acting, the scenery was nice, but the acting...ah the heck with it.
It was just a bad movie!

One curious plotpoint from this movie to note: The main character was driven to go to the Naval Academy because it was his dear departed mother's dream. She even dressed him in a sailor suit as a young boy.

Fortunately, she didn't adorn him in a pink cowboy hat, or we would have had to sit through Brokeback Mountain.

I saw Annapolis last night. Take Rocky, An Officer and a Gentleman, and School Ties, roll them into one cliche ridden ball and throw them at the screen, and this is what you end up with.

That said, its really isn't a terrible movie. Its just that it utterly lacks any originality. Whoever thought that James Franco could carry a lead in a movie had probably never seen any of his previous efforts. And the onscreen chemistry between Franco and his love interest, Jordana Brewster, was about as appealing as something you'd see in a 4th grade production of Romeo and Juliet.

Annapolis isnt very good, but probably not really Razzie material. Actually, it probably won't get much consideration, because by November, I'm betting that the two or three of us who see it will have forgotten all about it.

We thought the trailer for ANNAPOLIS looked kinda doofy...but doofy enuff to merit RAZZIE attention?!? With over 90% of the critics on Rotten Tomatoes giving it a thumbs down, this looks like yet another contender (and January ain't even over yet!). Let the race for The 27th Annual RAZZIES officially begin!
