DVD Reviews of Honey (Full Screen Edition)DVD Review: Syrupy sweet indeed... Summary: 3 Stars
`Honey' is not the greatest movie out there. It's not even the greatest `dance' movie out there; but who are we kidding, none of us expected that. Jessica Alba is not the greatest actress out there; she's not even really a `good' one, and she's not the greatest dancer out there either, but she is a good one, and she looks `good' dancing. That pretty much sums up `Honey'. Good looking girl dances well. It doesn't matter that the reasons she's dancing is to help young kids in the neighborhood turn to dance over crime or that she dreams of furthering this cause by opening a dance studio for underprivileged inner-city children. No, the only thing that matters is the fact that Jessica Alba looks good dancing. Hey, I'm just stating the facts here.
Mind you; I'm not complaining.
The film follows young Honey Daniels, a girl who teaches young kids to dance at this worn out cliché of a dance studio in `the hood'. She's caught on video dancing in a club and recruited by a music video director to dance in his next video. Obviously smitten with Honey the girl, not the dancer (since she doesn't dance any better then the other girls in the video) he decides to let her choreograph. Things are looking up for Honey and soon she may have the means to really do some good for her community (since you know the hottie has to have a heart of gold).
Then this great guy who gave her the big break reveals his true intentions and all the good in her life starts spirally downhill. She's losing the respect of the kids in the community and as a result come of them are turning to a life of crime. She's losing the bond she had with her best friend because of her new career and with the sudden strain on her working relationship she risks losing the means to buy this great place to house a dance studio.
Honey, the condiment (can I call it that), is a great way to make a tasty dessert even more delectable. If used properly, that syrupy sweet goodness can make any tummy more than happy. If improper amounts are digested at one time though, one can become sick, to the point of vomiting even. `Honey', the movie, is similar in that it can provide mindless fun at one moment but then deliver a migraine the next. I prefer a little depth to my movies (and what this movie presents as `depth' can't really be called that since its delivery is laughable at best). That isn't to say that there isn't something good to be found here. If taken in the right doses then films like `Honey' can serve their purpose; they can make the viewer `happy'. I just wouldn't suggest a diet that consisted of too much of this type of syrupy mess.
Besides; who doesn't love Mekhi Phifer?
