Year: 2003
Director: Bille Woodruff
Plot: Dark Angel-lead Jessica Alba stars in the title role of this film, the feature debut from music-video director Bille Woodruff. Honey is a girl from the streets who works in a record store, teaches the occasional dance class at a community center, and treks downtown every weekend to hit the clubs and try out some new moves. There, she meets a music video producer (David Moscow) who offers her a chance to be a choreographer -- but at a price she eventually learns she's unwilling to pay. Determined to pick herself back up, Honey goes back to the inner-city of her youth with plans of starting a dance school. Lil' Romeo co-stars as Honey's protege; other real-life musicians (including Missy Elliott, Tweet, Jay-Z, and Ginuwine) appear as themselves. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Body: By Tricia Olszewski Finally, a film has supplied me with the words I've been longing to type: Jessica Alba is a "Section 8, no-rhythm-having club ho." Or at least she plays one in Honey, a hiphop fairy tale whose most noteworthy achievement is that it's not as terrible asGlitter—though it tries pretty hard to be. Honey begins and ends with Alba's pasted-on smile, which hardly has cause to wane as her character, who has Big Dreams, is discovered shakin' her thang in a club and thereby rescued from toiling as a bartender and record-store clerk so she can dance in music videos. But one job Ms. Honey Daniels doesn't want to give up is teaching hiphop moves "at da centah," where she can help keep the littlest rappers off the mean Bronx streets. Alas, she must leave them—allegedly, she's just too damn good, and she quickly ascends from mere hoochie dancer to big-time hoochie choreographer—but she still tries to spend her spare time givin' a little back to the community. Conflict arises in the form of mentor Michael Ellis (David Moscow), the whitest hiphop video director on the planet, who wants to become more than Honey's business associate. Moscow makes a ridiculous villain, Mekhi Phifer is way too magnetic to be suitable as Honey's minor love interest, and Lil' Romeo, though an able pouter, is distracting as an at-risk kid with all the moves. In the end, the film is a paradox: It's too simplistic to be likable to anyone past puberty, yet its abtastic star is a half-naked Jessica Alba. For the grown-ups, the only thing that could compensate for sitting through the movie's awful choreography is seeing it performed by, well, a half-naked Jessica Alba. But after the third or so time you hear Honey tell someone that his "flava's hot!"—and notice that the amount of gel in her hair increases with her success—you'll definitely be feelin' Michael when he says, "Bitch, how you gonna play me like that?"
