Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Honey Daniels, an aspiring dancer, runs a dancing school with emphasis on hip-hop. Her goal is to keep the children off the streets of Harlem.One of several reasons that this is a good film is that there is absolutely no violence.When Honey makes it big, she begins to neglect the children and then discovers that her producer wants sexual favors before her career and really jump. Refusing to yield to his demands makes him do the most despicable thing-have her fire the children he had previously agreed to letting perform.At this point, the film takes a Judy-Mickey approach. Have a benefit to raise funds for a dance school. Of course, this is successful as you can imagine.The dancing is great. The story-line of fulfillment and promise are both realized. Jessica Alba, as Honey, is wonderful in the role.

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.

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 thought Honey wasn't that good!! Only because it was soooooo predictable! Due to the dancing i thought it was o.k!! Jessica Alba is a great actress as in 'Sin City' and 'Fantastic 4' i've never seen 'Sin City' but i have seen 'Fantastic 4' which is a great movie! Anyway back to Honey, Jessica Alba is great in this movie. I only seen it once and that was last week it was the first time i had ever seen the film! And i thought OMG (O my god!!) this film is sooooo predictable!! Sorry to any one who thinks it's fantastic!!!! I'd have to say the best part would have to be the ending!!! I love the song!!! And the dancing it superb!!! Thanks to the directer who made this film! The ending was great!!! And the choreography is amazing!!!
