Honey

This is a beautiful little movie that just fun to watch. Okay it's full of clichés, 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.

This was a very good movie. My favorite part was when Honey's friend snatched out Trina's hair at the beginning of the movie. Now that was funny! Honey is just a typical girl in the music world that wants to make it in the future as a video girl. Not just any video girl, but a dancer. There were many obstacles that approached her, but she don't let it hinder her from making it. She takes it as a lesson learned. She later becomes a choreographer and makes it big. People like Missy Elliott wanted her to organize dance routines for her. Her own mother does not like what she does. But she does her thing for the children in her community, so that they would not grow up, waking up, looking forward for the bad things in life. She is a life saver to some, like Lil' Romeo and his little brother. Through it all, she becomes successful no matter was brought in her way. She became her own woman.

This story about a girl, living in the ghetto, who tries to make a living through teaching dance classes, is a complete waste of your time. The story is weak, and predictable. I also have the feeling it gives you an unrealistic vision about life in the ghetto, the moral coming out of the movie is something like "don't deal drugs, stick to following dancing classes and you'll be alright". Which is a load of crap, obviously. It also ends in an unrealistic happy end (of course, a good ending to an unrealistic movie). Jessica's beautiful smile can't make up for the lack of tension/story/depth in this movie. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, unless you put the sound off and just enjoy watching the girl or something while listening to something more useful than the script.
