Review of Honey

So I have never actually seen this. I have only ever watched the second one. I figured since the third one just came out and they are on Netflix I should just check it out already. I mean it's Jessica Alba and Mekhi Phifer! Bille Woodruff has directed every entry in this series so that's respectable. This is the only film by the writers although they have both written for TV. I usually get a kick out of hip hop dance films so I'm hoping this is one of the good ones.

Does anyone ever say something like someone's flavor is hot? I swear this is so by the book. Way too many times I knew where everything would end up going. Besides the dancing I have pretty much seen it all before. The undercover cop scene was pretty terrible though. I think the idea of having their names on their shirts was kind of cute. It's basically a handful of music videos spread throughout a plotline. That honestly didn't bother me. The choreography was actually a little disappointing considering all the hip hop routines I have seen through the years. I think It's still a decent and entertaining watch. There was nice little music video during the credits.

This is so old Romeo is still credited as Lil' Romeo. Jessica Alba is absolutely delightful with an accent that escalates my adoration. Joy Bryant is pretty good as the friend too. Mekhi Phifer is always awesome. Zachary Williams and Romeo added some heart to the whole thing. I liked the hip hop cameos. The characters albeit likable are pretty typical.

The choreography could have been better. They could have strayed from the cliches. The writing could have used some improvement. The characters were likable, but they were a tad too familiar. It wasn't a bad watch though. I wouldn't watch it again, but it was decent.
