'Honey', a rose growing in concrete.

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2004)

A bunch of very mean IMDb voters gave this movie a "1" vote. It is not that bad a movie. Mostly trite and predictable, it features a cute Jessica Alba and a heartwarming story of inner city kids getting a chance through hip-hop dance. Its most reasonable rating is around '5'.
SPOILERS - Honey (Alba) is a natural dancer and choreographer, gets ideas by watching street kids, such things as playing basketball or jumping rope, but has trouble getting dancing jobs. Music video director sees her on TV, seeks her out at her job as a bartender, gives her work, lets her show her talents as a choreographer, until he comes on to her at a party, she slaps him, he drops her and blackballs her, no one will hire her. Eager to find a place for the 'hood kids to dance, she uses her money as a down payment, stages a benefit performance, people come to her aid, hip-hop artists insist on using her, she IS a rose growing in the concrete. Interesting extras on the DVD, good soundtrack.
