Honey is Sweet ***1/2

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2012)

Honey Daniels, an aspiring dancer, runs a dancing school with emphasis on hip-hop. Her goal is to keep the children off the streets of Harlem.
One of several reasons that this is a good film is that there is absolutely no violence.
When Honey makes it big, she begins to neglect the children and then discovers that her producer wants sexual favors before her career and really jump. Refusing to yield to his demands makes him do the most despicable thing-have her fire the children he had previously agreed to letting perform.
At this point, the film takes a Judy-Mickey approach. Have a benefit to raise funds for a dance school. Of course, this is successful as you can imagine.
The dancing is great. The story-line of fulfillment and promise are both realized. Jessica Alba, as Honey, is wonderful in the role.
