“Story Ave” (*1/2 out of four) was a syrupy, preachy melodrama about a young inner-city hoodlum (Asante Blackk) who runs away from home and holds up an MTA worker (Luis Guzman) but they form an unexpected bond together and the worker becomes a father figure to him that could change his life. Earnest and well-intentioned story is also contrived and maudlin and rings false. Guzman is solid as usual but even his effortless charisma can’t make this a “story” worth watching.
