"Honey" is a passionate song and dance film. Youth inspirational + vigorous song and dance and the mixed appearance of the heroine Jessica Marie Alba make the audience easily think of the 1984 song and dance film " Flashdance ". The film is like a tailor-made for Alba, her hot dance in close-fitting clothing is very infectious, which is also the biggest highlight of the film. Director Billy Waldruff took the film like a super long version of MTV, which can be regarded as a sister chapter of " Glitter "
.
Director Bill Woodruff brought some life sparks to this chaotic movie, but only in the scene where he was used as a music video director. Hani, played by Alba, often takes off her clothes on her shoulders and dances, but this does not have any sense of depth to her character. Her movements are dull, which makes it difficult for the audience to believe that this heroine is a unique talent. And popular choreography. Mekhi Phifer and Lille Romeo are really talented, and their occasional appearance also brings some pleasant moments to the film. The guest appearances of hip-hop artists are obviously to bring credibility to the film’s story structure, but their efforts cannot make up for the weaknesses of the script and the actors. It can be said that the film is better than Mariah Carey's much criticized "Glitter", which is only because Alba did not sing
.
"Honey" cannot be said to be a tiring modification to the plot of the usual inspirational film. This is meaningless, because the film is designed for young audiences who do not understand these routines. They will think this is a new story: a young dancer wants to use her full enthusiasm to go to a new place to break into the sky, and in the end she must be a shining star who returns. This kind of routine has produced many good movies. The trick is to make this young woman achieve something, and the important part is to make her ambition so strong. However, the film is really full of loopholes. For example, the audience knew that the role of Hani was very ambitious, but the audience also saw her doing something absurd: a MV director gave her his business card, she called him once, and was fired by a receptionist. Squid, so she threw away the business card. This bridge is completely inconsistent with Hani's ambition
