Review
Once upon a time, there was a movie that stole audiences’ hearts and made them dance. This movie was none other than “Honey”. The film that introduced the world to the dynamic hip-hop choreography of Laurieann Gibson. The story follows Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba), a dancer with big dreams who is struggling to make ends meet by working as a bartender in a club, while teaching hip-hop classes at the local community center.
This tale begins with great music and electrifying dance moves, which are the most fundamental aspects of this movie. The opening sequence, shot in black and white, takes us through Honey’s early years as a young girl practicing her dance moves on the streets of New York. It sets the tone for what’s to come; honey’s journey to make her dreams come true.
The storyline is not just about dancing but also about holding onto your values in life. Honey is passionate about her dance career, but she never loses sight of doing it for the love of artistry instead of fame or fortune. Her good-heartedness draws her towards take up an initiative to teach dance classes for free at community centers to disadvantaged children.
As Honey starts gaining more popularity through her students’ success stories, fame comes knocking on her door when famous music video director Michael Ellis (David Moscow) offers her a chance to choreograph his latest video featuring Ginuwine. This opportunity leads her towards many more opportunities in the industry where she faces many challenges along the way.
The cast is impressive; Jessica Alba is stunning as always and brings depth and flair to the character of Honey Daniels. Mekhi Phifer plays Chaz (Honey’s close friend) effortlessly charming alongside Lil Romeo who makes his acting debut as Benny (one of Honey’s students).
The film also features some memorable scenes including when Honey choreographs Lil Romeo’s performance and snaps back at Rodney over exploiting Benny for commercial profits. These scenes are wonderfully shot and edited, keeping the audience engaged and entertained.
The music in this movie is a blend of hip-hop, R&B, and pop. The soundtrack includes tracks from Ginuwine, Missy Elliot, Tweet ft. Missy Elliot, and Beyonce ft. Jay-Z among others. Not only is the music enjoyable but also serves as a perfect backdrop for the stunning dance routines.
The cinematography of “Honey” is awe-inspiring. From capturing the dancers’ movements to showcasing New York City’s grittiness, it’s visually stunning.
This film received mixed reviews from critics; some praised it for its energetic dance routines and inspiring storylines while others criticized it for lackluster performances and a predictable plotline. However, there’s no denying that “Honey” has a massive following amongst those who love movies about dance.
In conclusion, “Honey” is a must-watch movie that sends out positive messages about following your dreams while sticking to your values in life.
