Honey

Honey

Looking at the advertisements for HONEY, one would think that this movie is more than what it really is and with the PG-13 rating in mind it is indeed surprising. The majority of its content is certainly not meant for younger viewers, but the film’s premise revolves around a noble character who gives up her professional ambitions to work with at-risk youth in her community.

In the film “Honey”, Jessica Alba plays Honey Daniels, who is a stupid bartender and a bartender by night. She spends her day teaching ghetto kids how to dance at her mother’s dilapidated community center. A music video director names Michael, sees Honey dancing at the club after her hours of duty working at the bar. He leans forward to ask her to participate in one of his video shoots. Indeed, he believes that she can be the primary dancer for that video.

Soon, Honey becomes the choreographer for Michael and in time, passes the dance class to her friend. Such everything was going well, that when the youth center gets flooded and needs to get closed, Honey decides to invest in a dance studio that in turn would help her aspiring dancers including a young kid named Raymond and his brother Bennie who is talented and is falling into the drug related problems of the area.

In a fit of rage and desperation, Honey decides to leave after Michael makes inappropriate advances towards her. The next day, however, Michael sabotages her scheduled rehearsal with two brothers and other classmates that she teaches to dance. As a result, Michael prevents her from earning any future jobs that would allow her to complete the down payment for the dance studio. With the child support, Honee resolves to hold a dance fundraising event in a deserted church. Honey comes across an understanding new boyfriend (Mekhi Phifer) who encourages her.

This becomes the main objective of the title character in this movie taking children away from dangerous streets and giving them a healthy alternative to their energy. While some will contain a few steamy dance numbers in the movie, HONEY will also contain some other dance numbers that are clean.

As a matter of fact, the very last dance of the children before the minute long credits is the entire neighborhood children dancing along with all of Honey’s other dancing friends and students of different ages as they all perform before a packed house at the end of the film provides such satisfaction. In this way, they attempted to fill an empty Christian church, which is where these complete strangers have witnessed all the struggle.

Even with the existing flaws, HONEY manages to be a morally uplifting and a heartfelt story which will touch many viewers. The story and characters are perhaps best described as archetypes and will remind of a dozen clichés but emotionally appealing Hollywood musicals from the past not so distant for sure, but it’s cool that there is at least one such picture where the goal Was not to gain popularity and wealth and get the boy.

The effects which Honey demonstrates for her neighbors can be mesmerizing to say the least. Now that is pretty awesome, isn’t it?
