Product Description:
Filled with intense action, ANNAPOLIS is an inspirational tale of courage and honor that will keep you riveted. As hard as it is to get into the most elite military academy in the country, surviving behind its walls is beyond belief. Young Jake Huard (James Franco) has always known he has what it takes to make the grade. But once inside, everything Jake thought he knew is challenged in ways he never could have imagined. Standing between him and his lifelong ambition of becoming an officer in the U.S. Navy is his company commander -- Midshipman Lt. Cole (Tyrese Gibson), a relentless and merciless battle-seasoned Marine. Thrilling and exhilarating, ANNAPOLIS reaffirms the power of believing in your dreams.

 Rocky plus An Officer and a Gentleman, 2009-01-03
Don't get me wrong. I liked both films, just don't think they make that good of combination, particularly if neither of the plotlines is that well developed.
Story in brief: Jason Huard (James Franco) made a promise to his Mom before she died that he'd go to Annapolis. He didn't quite fit in, but persistence pays off--particularly if you ask your Congressman 34 times for a recommendation.
Once he gets into Annapolis, it seems the one thing Huard has going for him is his ability to box. Whether that will keep him in the school remains to be seen.
If you liked "Rocky" and "Officer", you might like this film, but there's neither enough boxing or military training and discipline in the story to make it truly stand out.
