Best movie of this year hands down!

Redundant and unnecessary.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie was on television when I woke up. I think it was on the "Diva" station (this is in Canada). Jessica Alba is an unconvincing music video choreographer. She says a lot of hilarious slang all the time, which sounds like an 8-year-old wrote it. Actually, every word spoken in this film sounds like little kids pretending to be adults. I don't know if Alba is trying to have some sort of Latino vibe going on, but it seems almost offensive. There was some sort of thing going on about her teaching kids how to dance, and trying to weasel them into a Ginuwine video. Unfortunately, this movie came after his totally awesome jam "Pony", so it was probably something pretty lame. This movie was so bad. I turned it off early so I could finish eating my eggs (sunny side up!) and toast without barfing.

I have just watched "Honey" because of the name of Jessica Alba in the cast. Fortunately I did not pay attention to the unfair and very underrated IMDb User Rating. "Honey" is indeed a delightful and enjoyable feel-good movie. Certainly it is not a masterpiece, and it will never be indicated for an Oscar, but it is not its intention. "Honey" is, first of all, a great homage to hip-hop, with the participation of many stars such as Tweet, Missy Elliot, Blaque, Jadakiss, Ginuwine among others, and awesome dance choreographs. The story has a good message that everybody must fight to make the dreams come true. The stunning Jessica Alba is wonderful in the role of Honey. The story may be corny for bitter viewers, with most of the characters being nice; horrible, for those who have prejudice against poor people or hip-hop; or great for a viewer that appreciate a great entertainment like me. The music score is fantastic, and the DVD released in Brazil by Universal is outstanding, full of wonderful extras. My vote is eight.

This film is about a young dancer who has a chance to make it big by choreographing the music videos."Honey" is a uplifting and vibrant film. Usually, a film heavily sponsored by the music industry can look like an extended music video. In "Honey", it has a coherent and cohesive story which successfully blends the music and stars into the film without being contrived. Dance moves are great, as the dancers do show their enthusiasm and youthful energy. I liked looking at the dance scenes. The story is also well written, as it emanates a positive message about anybody can be somebody if you work hard. I enjoyed "Honey" a lot.

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!
