Advantages: positive story, good dancing and soundtrack

Disadvantages: predictable

Introduction

Honey is an urban style dance movie with a great soundtrack and a positive and inspirational story. It was first released in 2003 and stars the lovely Jessica Alba who is also supported by a number of younger actors and also hip hop stars such as Missy Elliot.

Plot

The film is the story of Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba) who is a 22-year-old tough-minded, mixed race hip-hop dancer in New York's East Harlem . She teaches hip-hop dancing at a local youth centre and she dreams of making it big as a music video choreographer.When she meets the video director Michael Ellis (David Moscow), she believes that her dreams have come true. Michael though has different intentions and when he refuses to take "no" for an answer to his sexual advances he tries to destroy Honey's career as a dancer and choreographer.

Opinion

I thought it was a good movie with a storyline about a girl with a dream of making it big whilst also helping out those who can't have that life. It is predictable but it has alot of enjoyable things about it. Not least the dancing and soundtrack. If you enjoy dancing and hip hop music you will not need to be encouraged much to see this film. If you also want to see a positive and inspirational story you may also like this film. The dancing was very good and Jessica Alba does well in her role as Honey Daniels. People will give up their dreams if things don't turn out the way they wanted them to but she doesn't give them up so easily.If you enjoy a film including the good, the bad, the ugly as well as captivating choreography and catchy beats, then Honey is for you.
