hyped garbage
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
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 have just watched "Honey" because of the name of Jessica Alba in the cast. Fortunately I did not pay attention to the unfair and very underrated IMDb User Rating. "Honey" is indeed a delightful and enjoyable feel-good movie. Certainly it is not a masterpiece, and it will never be indicated for an Oscar, but it is not its intention. "Honey" is, first of all, a great homage to hip-hop, with the participation of many stars such as Tweet, Missy Elliot, Blaque, Jadakiss, Ginuwine among others, and awesome dance choreographs. The story has a good message that everybody must fight to make the dreams come true. The stunning Jessica Alba is wonderful in the role of Honey. The story may be corny for bitter viewers, with most of the characters being nice; horrible, for those who have prejudice against poor people or hip-hop; or great for a viewer that appreciate a great entertainment like me. The music score is fantastic, and the DVD released in Brazil by Universal is outstanding, full of wonderful extras. My vote is eight.
I read some of the above comments & was frankly amazed; I don't know how people found this movie good or even watchable. I saw it in theaters (yes, embarrassingly I admit that), thinking it would at least be entertaining; instead, I found myself wasting 2 hours of my life on an unrealistic, horribly acted, cheesy movie. Alba is beautiful, but the acting in this movie is horrible. There was better acting in Crossroads with Britney Spears (& before you call me one of the cynical types, I actually enjoyed that movie for what it was-entertainment & a chick flick). If you are looking for a movie with any substance at all, or anything other than something to make fun of, steer clear of this movie.
the film was excellent..the singing and dancing was top class but the ending was disappointing...i would have liked 2 have seen more on honeys dance school!they should bring out a second 1!Jessica alba really surprised me with her acting and her brilliant dance skill.Joy Bryant was also very good as well as appearances from Missy Elliot and Lil Romeo who plays a major role in the film.There was excellent choreography and the movie portrays the hip hop lifestyle very well with well chosen outfits and music.I think the music was class and the special features there are music videos,which are worth looking at!Overall it was very good and i would definitely buy it.It's Suitable for everybody!
