Synopsis

Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba) is a dancer and choreographer working as a bartender and record store clerk until she gets that one break. When she finally succeeds, it feels too good to be true. And it is -- until Honey gets a new dream fuelled by the exuberant energy of a group of neighborhood kids who bring her back to the sheer joy of letting it all out on the dance floor.

Critics' reviews

"'Honey' brings out the wholesome, affirmative side of the hip-hop aesthetic without being overly preachy"

Dana Stevens: The New York Times
"''Honey' doesn't have a shred of originality (except for the high-energy choreography), but there's something fundamentally reassuring about a movie that respects ancient formulas"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"If you're in the mood for a hip-hop film with more happy faces than 'The Partridge Family,' Honey will divert you."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"It's a hokey heart-warmer that works"

J.R. Jones: Chicago Reader
"With less than five minutes of screen time but with more humor and sassy attitude than the remaining cast combined, Missy Elliott separates hip-hop royalty from riff raff in the otherwise lackluster 'Honey'"

David Rooney: Variety
"It evokes a warmed-over Fox TV special"

Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post
