Jessica Alba (
/gp/search?search-alias=dvd&field-keywords=Jessica%20Alba+-ntsc )
swivels and pops her way to the top (or at least into Missy
Elliot's heart) in hip-hop dance flick Honey. Honey Daniels
(Alba, Dark Angel) dances in nightclubs; when she accidentally
gets videotaped, a hip-hop video director spots her unique talent
and hires her first as a dancer, then as a choreographer. But
when he wants her body as much as her talent, how will she
sustain her career? And how will this affect her dream of
creating a dance studio for the local street kids? Honey is the
usual Hollywood silliness, executed with sincerity but not much
imagination. For some reason, Alba's sexy gyrations are supposed
to be more empowering than other dancers' sexy gyrations, while
being no less titillating. Featuring Mekhi Phifer (

), David Moscow (

), and cameos by hip-hop stars like Missy Elliot (

and Ginuwine (

Synopsis
--------
With a plethora of flashy cameos by artists Missy Elliot, Tweet,
Ginuwine, Jadakiss, and Sheek, Honey feels like an extended
hip-hop video with an inspiring, socially conscious message about
ambition and the bittersweet taste of success. New York City
dancer-choreographer Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba, of TV's Dark
AngelL) hopes her talent will soon be recognized, but for now
she's working three odd jobs: in a record store, as dance teacher
at the local youth centre, and bartender in a Manhattan dance
club. Hot director of music videos Michael Ellis (David Moscow,
Just Married, Big) spots an amateur video of Honey cutting a rug
after work, and gives her a at the big time when he asks her
to choreograph videos for Ginuwine and Tweet. Just as the big
bucks start rolling in, Honey gets a nasty dose of reality when
she rebuffs the director's sexual advances and is blackballed by
the industry. Honey throws herself back into her community work
with a vengeance and helps two of her most talented students
Benny (Lil' Romeo) and Raymond (Zachary Isaiah Williams) stay out
of the hands of local drug dealers. Honey is a 21st-century
version of Flashdance or Fame--an infinitely entertaining urban
dance movie that gets viewers' feet tapping with high-energy
choreography and strings of catchy, cutting-edge tunes.
