This movie is cliché-o-rama.

Rating: 2/10 (5 August 2005)

I watched this movie with a cousin of mine. She is into this sort of thing - acting like your hip-hop, dancing, and clichéd teen drivel. But even she couldn't take it. Jessica Alba is totally miscast as Honey, a character that is some sort of Latino, but Alba is too white to play. Honey wants to be a dance choreographer, but encounters obstacles, such as a horn dog mentor who wants her to sleep with him, or she'll be blacklisted. Along the way, she tries to help Lil' Romeo's character, a young man on his way to a life of crime. Really. This movie is totally ridiculous. Lil' Romeo tries to pull off a grown up and tough persona but fails. Miserably. So does Alba, who, between this and Dark Angel, has lost the ability to act. People could say that this movie is good because of the dancing, but I see the choreography as contrived and over-sexual to make up for the fact that it lacks the same things this movie does: any sort of groove or flavor. This movie, while not the worst, could be a slight train wreck, right down to the cheesy and predictable ending. If you're a teenage girl who like hip-hop and teen movies, go ahead and watch this. If you're anything else, stay away.
