QueerVamp20 Although this movie may remind you of other movies - it still is decent on it's own stance - It sends a good message to people - And gives hope for young people on the streets with wasted talent - Honey is about a young woman who gets the chance to become a choreographer for some of the most popular R&B singers - Prior to this she worked in a club as a bartender and also taught Hip Hop at the local community center - Betrayal, lust, hope, fighting for what you believe, and great dancing are the words that come to mind when describing this movie - It's no "Save The Last Dance" but hey - who doesn't like "Honey"!?! - The problem with movies is they are never what you expect - and sometimes exactly what you expect - Don't hold your standards too high because this is no Academy Award winning movie - but it is a little bit of a gem, liked mostly by true movie buffs -

callanvass Jessica Alba is a good hearted young woman, and a talented dancer. She becomes close with her mentor Michael (David Moscow) He becomes a little too close for Alba's liking, and Alba is forced to do things the hard way, and make it on her own, without his help. What is it with dancing themed films? I don't understand the appeal of them. They look cool, don't get me wrong. I enjoyed Step-Up, and its second sequel to a certain extent, but I don't get the infatuation with them. This came out before Step-Up, but it has nowhere near the competency that Step-Up has. It's thoroughly predictable, the dialog is pretty laughable at times, with plenty of tough street talk. It comes across as groan inducing more than anything else. Every time Alba would utter the line "Your flavor is hot!" I would cringe. It wasn't very convincing. That criticism aside, I have to commend Alba for the most part. This film is very mediocre, but it could have been a complete mess if it wasn't for Alba's charming performance. Her genuine character, and determination was very easy to empathize with, and she made this movie a lot easier to digest. It doesn't hurt that she's drop dead gorgeous, either. Mekhi Phifer (Chaz) disappears for too many stretches for my liking. His love story with Alba was underdeveloped, and came across as phony and quite awkward in my opinion. Romeo Miller is extremely annoying as Benny. His gangster act got old quickly. I realize he was just a kid at the time of the release, but kid actors can be quite intolerable. David Moscow plays a great sleaze ballFinal Thoughts: If you insist on watching this. Your viewing experience will be buoyed by Alba's solid performance. It's not a very good movie though, and if you're into the dancing thing, I'd suggest watching Step- Up (the first one)4.8/10

Desertman84 Honey is a film that stars Jessica Alba together with Mekhi Phifer, Lil' Romeo, Joy Bryant, David Moscow and features performances by Tweet, Jadakiss and Ginuwine. This is a feature debut from music-video director Bille Woodruff. Honey is a girl from the streets who works in a record store, teaches the occasional dance class at a community center, and treks downtown every weekend to hit the clubs and try out some new moves. There, she meets a music video producer who offers her a chance to be a choreographer. But at a price she eventually learns she's unwilling to pay. Determined to pick herself back up, Honey goes back to the inner- city of her youth with plans of starting a dance school.Honey is the usual Hollywood silliness, executed with sincerity but not much imagination. For some reason, Alba's sexy gyrations are supposed to be more empowering than other dancers' sexy gyrations, while being no less titillating.But nevertheless, it provide some lift to this corny and formulaic movie.

Jackson Booth-Millard I heard of the film from the leading actress, but I didn't really know anything about the plot or premise. Basically 22-year-old, sexy, tough-minded, half-black, half-Latina Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba) is a hip-hop dancer and New York East Harlem youth centre dance teacher (to keep them off the streets and out of trouble). She dreams of becoming a professional dance choreographer for music videos, and one day she gets the opportunity when dance video director Michael Ellis (Big's David Moscow) casts her in his latest video, and many there after. Soon Honey wants to change from dancer to choreographer, but success comes at a price when Michael is trying to make sexual advances on her, and she leaves. She has plans to buy an empty building to become a new dance school/centre, and even though Michael is back in her good books, and offers to help pay for it, she refuses and says she can raise the money herself with a special fund raising dance evening. Also starring I Still Know What You Did Last Summer's Mekhi Phifer as Chaz, Joy Bryant as Gina, Lil' Romeo as Benny, Lonette McKee as Mrs. Daniels, Zachary Isaiah Williams as Raymond, Laurie Ann Gibson as Katrina, Judi Embden as Mrs. Strom, Anthony Sherwood as Mr. Daniels and hip-hop star Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott. Alba is fit and likable, and the dance routines are well done, but the story isn't completely gripping or interesting, with corny dialogue and stereotypical characters, but worth a look. Okay!
