It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

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 -

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 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!

I don't understand all the hate for Jessica Alba, and the hate for this film. Mostly, any film with her in it besides Sin City get a bad rep and she has won and been nominated for quite a few Razzies over the years, including the performance for this film. I, personally, find that overly inane and uncalled for. Anyway, on to the movie itself. Honey is a film that you just can't take seriously. It contains lots of bad dialogue, not that great of choreography in certain parts, per se, and quite a bit of the characters just fill up the time. Besides all that, I find myself having such a good heart-felt time with it, every time I watch it.Honey is a feel good pleasure driver. It's about showing that dreams can come true for all sorts of people, and there are so many scenes that put a smile on my face because of just how true to having fun it is. Unlike others, that I stated earlier, I thought Jessica Alba surpassed in her performance as Honey. She's sweet, she's sexy and she is the only truly likable character, but there is enough presence there for you to love her entirely, and I do. She hits dance moves that aren't that difficult to where they look like she has practice them for weeks. She's selfless, and Jessica Alba has more of a way of acting with her face and body rather than she does her voice and line delivery; that of course works perfectly for this movie.I don't honestly find many faults with this movie, aside from the dialogue and how all the characters are just kind of there. I find the story very warming and endearing, and the upsides of this movie outweigh the bad for me honestly, by far. Like I said, it's a blast from beginning to end. Great songs, nice cameos; if Missy Elliott's 10 minutes of the screen don't put a smile on your face I don't know what will, and I root for Honey, all the way through. I want this woman to succeed, I want her goals and dreams to be accomplished, and if Jessica Alba can do that for her character and for me, this film has acquired it's main goal, of entertaining with a likable lead. To each their own, I love Honey.
