Reviews
|
The New York Times -
Honey brings out the wholesome, affirmative side of the hip-hop aesthetic without being overly preachy, and it offers a winningly utopian view of show-business success without real costs or compromises.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
Despite some sizzle with love interest Mekhi Phifer, the alluring Alba ends up a desexualized mouthpiece.
|
|
Charlotte Observer -
The story's sweet, however stale, and many performers have energy. But screenwriters Alonzo Brown and Kim Watson drain the reality out of it.
|
|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
By no means is this a good movie, but it's warmed by the solar energy of its star, who surely deserves better than this formula empowerment flick.

|
Los Angeles Times -
If you're in the mood for a hip-hop film with more happy faces than "The Partridge Family," Honey will divert you.
