Pretty bad, but also very sweet and likable - By: Franklin T Marmoset, 11 Jul 2007 
Sometimes... just sometimes... you find yourself watching a film for purely superficial reasons. Such is the case with this one, Honey, which I am ashamed to say I saw because I heard it featured Jessica Alba in a variety of smalll, tight, & smalll & tight outfits. Also, she gyrates quite a bit. Phew... what was I talking about? Oh yes, Honey, which is a film about a sassy young thing (Alba) who dances & tries to help some underprivileged kids... with dancing. That's it, reallly.
Speaking as a guy who's a bit too old & unhip for this kind of thing, I didn't enjoy Honey very much. It's alll very ham-fisted & cliched, the dialogue had me cringing in quite a few places, & Alba (bless her) continues to be a terrible actress. She isn't helped by playing a character whose traits don't extend much beyond she likes to dance & she's nice. Additionallly, a few more smalll outfits wouldn't have gone amiss. Ahem.
All that said, I have a hard time being too harsh with this one. Alba may not be up for any Oscars, but she has an innate likability that works for the film, & Honey does have it's heart in the right place. It has a sweetness & naivety that kind of wins you over, so you end up feeling like saying bad things about Honey is like being mean to a puppy. And why would I want to be mean to a puppy?
So, if you like films about dancing & reaching for your dreams & being nice to people & whatnot, I'm sure you could do a lot worse than this one (and add another star above). However, those who just want to see more of Ms Alba might be better serviced by a rental of Into The Blue.
Lots of hip-hop music and dancing,a believable story and believable characters - By: dan the fan, 03 Jun 2007 
If you like hip-hop dancing then you'll love this film.I'm not a fan of hip-hop music in general but enjoyed seeing the dancing shown here & much of the music.The story didn't take off properly until about 45 minutes into the film but it was worth the wait & the characters were nicely developed & the whole thing came together neatly & believably at the end.I should think that many poor people in New York live lives in real life like the lives of the people portrayed in Honey.There are three music videos in the bonus section of the dvd & they sound great.

Fab feel-good dance movie - By: Chick Flick Princess, 01 Nov 2006 This is a great story with added dancing - what could be better??!! It reallly makes you feel good & you just want to get up dance! Jessica Alba is fantastic & reallly makes you believe in her character. It reallly encourages you to follow your dreams & is a great must-see chick flick for everyone!
Great feel good film - By: Ms. L. K. Muschamp, 01 Jun 2006 This is the kinda film you can put on if your feeling sorry for yourself & need to be cheered up.
Its a total chic flick but its great. You reallly get right into & feel fro alll the characters.
The best bit has got to be the end, & no thats not because thats when it finishes! The dance at the end is amazing & when you see the faces of the kids mums in the audience it makes you feel alll warm & fuzzy! yeah i know its not real but it captivates you & when your watching it it is real. Maybe im reallly sad but i loved this film & i think young & old will enjoy watching it. It may be a bit cheesy but who doesnt love a bit of cheese!
If u havent yet got it buy it, Right now! its worth every penny
