The Question/Exception of Honey

Rating: 6/10 (5 April 2006)

Anyway, a comment about the movie that has OBVIOUSLY been touched before: It's a great dance movie. Dance people will like this movie. It has good dancing. It has OK music, especially the Tears for Fears cover that surprisingly was at passing level. The movie also has the same clichés that some dancers might have faced. It also contains a lot of clichés that a lot of other people can understand since they don't know how to read. Especially about clichés: I love how the characters are very argumentative and how they always have the perfect thing to say. The clichés work in such a way that my figure skater friend will like Ice Diaries, and hopefully she's not reading this review right now. Who cares if Jessica Alba can't act - I can relate to it! So basically, big movie lovers will attack this movie, or as my sister calls this movie, "a video." It's a dance movie for the sake of a dance movie and not because it was made to be a movie. If you know what I mean.
Which then leads us to better questions: Should movies be made for purposes like this? And because this movie was made for this intention, should it be disrespected? Was this movie even made with an artistic and aesthetic purpose in the first place? It's up to you.
I also hate how EVERYONE in the movie is stick thin.
