Annapolis
By-the-numbers military training exercise: a sensitive riveter, not content just to build ships, joins the Naval Academy on a promise to his late mother. There's a withholding father, a hard-ass drill instructor, a roly-poly lagging roommate, a foxy female officer, and a boxing tournament for proving manhood. James Franco might hope to remind you of Montgomery Clift in From Here to Eternity (his character's name, Huard, even sounds a bit like Pruitt), but he can only hope. With Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Donnie Wahlberg, and Vicellous Shannon; directed by Justin Lin. 2006.
