      Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba) dreams of making a name for herself as a hip-hop choreographer. When she's not busy hitting downtown clubs with her friends, she teaches dance classes at a nearby community center in Harlem, N.Y., as a way to keep kids off the streets. Honey thinks she's hit the jackpot when she meets a hotshot director (David Moscow) who casts her in one of his music videos.

        Such an inspirational film. The soundtrack was amazing and the ending of the film couldn't help but make you smile. Full of positivity and really motivates you. It wasn't a bad film for Jessica Alba to start with at all.

        Jessica Alba plays Honey Daniels, trying to make it big as a music dance choreographer. Honey rockets to success with her unique style but starts to lose her connection with the community she loves. One night, a big time producer Michael Ellis (David Moscow) comes to the club and offers Honey a chance to dance in a music video but Honey soon finds that he has other ulterior motives. The story is extremely cliche and predictable but if you just want an excuse to watch Jessica Alba's pretty face then you might bear the 90 minutes of the Honey show!
