Pros: - Jessica Alba is likeableThe Dancing is good and frequentMissy Elliott, Tweet and other hip hop stars can be seen in cameo roles.It never gets too slow or too boringCons: - The characters don't feel realistic in certain situations...that goes for the plot too. For example, peolpe seem to know a dance routine by looking at it once.The plot is unoriginal, you know where "Honey" is heading.Summary: "Honey" is a likeable film, but you have to enjoy listening to hip hop and watch people dance.

After reading a lot of the reviews on this board, I thought this movie was going to be really bad however I found that this movie isn't really as terrible as some people have made it out to be. Jessica Alba plays Honey Danies, a hip-hop dance teacher hoping to make it as a choreographer, for someone who didn't have any previous dance experience, she sure does a fantastic job! Mekhi Pfifer is good in his supporting role as the barber with a lot of heart.This movie is something that has been done many times before so you can't expect an oscar nominated screenplay etc etc. However, its something you can enjoy and if you are into the music or dancing, then this is definitely something for youa 6/10

This is a beautiful little movie that just fun to watch. Okay it's full of clichรฉs, predictable in some places, the dialogs are funky sometimes.But who cares?If you have nothing to do on a saturday night and your boyfriend/girlfriend just dumped you this movie will get you right up! You've got good vibes coming from all over this movie.The dancing scenes are really tight, the casting has been done beautifully especially casting Jessica Alba. God she likes shines of the screen.Go and see this movie, it's fun...Oh but there is one thing that I kept noticing. And that was that the movie resembles "Glitter" in so many ways. I see that the scriptwriter Kate Lanier worked on both projects.
