Too much of everything

So much average

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Honey has a dream to make it in life with dancing and she gets her big break when she is offered a job to be featured in a music video and a dance choreographer. The film had some decent ingredients although not very original, but it's a shame that the outcome is boring and predictable. It has some flashy dance moves in it but nothing remarkable, if I just wanted to watch some dancing I would watch some bboy videos instead. The part about Honey(Jessica Alba) being a good samaritan plays a big part near the end, but after the first hour, I was bored and just wanted it all to end. When I first saw the trailer, I was interested but nothing I wanted to rush out and see. But finally got around to watching it, and although the movie isn't that bad compared to other dance flicks out there it's nothing special either. If your interested or like hip-hop music videos give this a shot. I liked how they showed hip-hop in a respectful manner, but the dialogue and the interaction between the characters wasn't believable either. So a 5.3/10.

I don't like Hip-Hop, Dance and Choreography! But, nevertheless, I found this movie interesting: Jessica Alba delivers a very sincere interpretation, in which she can express a lot of different feelings.The cast is cool, especially the teens and the close friend of Jessica. For me, Joy Bryant is a new face and I think she steals the show! The story is more about dreams, friendship and dedication than about music, dances! If the bonuses are really boring (the videos, the making-of for videos, an endless deleted scenes), the commentary of Jessica with her then boyfriend-director is fun to listen! Finally, a rather good surprise!

Hip-hop dancer Jessica Alba wants to become a professional, as well as save her dance studio, the only place where local kids can hang out and not get in trouble. Yes, it's a 2000s version of Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Unfortunately, Honey has little of the charm of the Breakin' movies. Well, maybe in 20 years it'll be seen as camp, too. It's kind of the only way any Jessica Alba movies, save maybe Sin City, will ever be viewed in the future. The film is less than terrible when it focuses on the dancing. I say yes to Jessica Alba dancing. Apparently she knew nothing about dancing before taking the role. It's impressive that she learned how to do it so well. Has no one suggested maybe acting classes?

I got a three pack on a DVD at Wal Mart for ten dollars a few weeks ago and Honey was on the cover, never saw the movie, wasn't really interested when it came out, but I figured why not see it for ten dollars? Sounds silly, but who knows? Sometimes you find little treasures here and there that are cheap, plus, I remember that this was the film that really introduced Jessica Alba to the movie business industry. Of course, she's really huge now, and judging from this film, Honey that I watched last night, I have to say other than her looks, I am surprised she made it this far. I don't mean to sound horrible on the film or anything, but this just seemed like a giant rap video for me and the plot was way too average and predictable with some cheesy street slang.Honey Daniels has three jobs: a bartender, a sales girl at a CD store, and also a dance teacher at her mom's little business to keep kids off the street. But more than anything, Honey wants to be a music video back up dancer. Her wishes come true when a director, Michael, welcomes her to the dance floor and makes her a choreographer. All her dreams are coming true, until she realizes that she forgets the more important things in life that mean so much to her. She eventually wants to open a club of her own to help out the neighborhood kids.Honey has the typical street slang which I didn't find attractive, you just can't take it seriously. Alba, she's such a pretty girl, BUT, I'm very sorry, the girl cannot act, I didn't feel an ounce of sympathy or compassion for her character, she played off as this naive little thing, when she could have played it more smart and strong. Not to mention what was the whole Missy Elliot dialog? "What is this? This? This? Ugh? Ugh?"... it was supposed to be funny, but Missy comes off flat. Mekhi should have had more screen time, the guy is the only one with talent in the film. The dance moves are good, but I just wish they wouldn't have made this into a giant rap video.2/10
