Admirable film.

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.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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 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 watched this movie for the dancing, for the music, for the cameos and because I think Jessica Alba is gorgeous. So I quite enjoyed it! But if you're watching this movie and expecting a proper storyline, believable characters and any sort of surprises in the plot... you'll be very disappointed! Its a very predictable movie, and most of the characters are very two dimensional and there are some very cringe-worthy lines ("Your flava's hot!").BUT... its still good fun, and the dancing is fantastic. A good movie just to drift along to, and if you're into hip hop and rnb (like I am), you'll enjoy the music and cameos as much as I did. Watch it for the dancing, not for the plot, and you'll be happy!
