    • Trivia
      The title role was written with Aaliyah in mind and she had actually accepted the role but died in August 2001 before she had begun filming. However, it was proven false and that the role was written with Beyoncé in mind. Beyoncé skipped the project due to touring.
    • Goofs
      When Honey and Raymond are out looking for his brother Benny, they see him entering a restaurant and they start to cross the street, but in the next scene he is already eating a big plate of food when they approach him. From the time it took them to cross the street and enter the restaurant, he could not have had the time to order, receive and start eating his food.
    • Quotes

      Chaz: Besides, I never mess up a kid's head, especially when his mom's in the shop.

      Honey: [Chuckles] He's eight. That would have made me 14. I'm not that kind of girl.

      Chaz: My bad.

      Honey: We just peoples.

      Raymond: Yeah, we peoples.

      Chaz: You peoples? Playa, playa, how'd you swing that? I've been tryin' to be her peoples for weeks. Ain't had no luck.

      Raymond: I got flow.

      [All laughing]

      Chaz: I got flow too. You don't think I got some flow?

      Raymond: Maybe not as much as me.

    Watchable for fans of the genre

    Pros: - Jessica Alba is likeable

    • The Dancing is good and frequent


    • Missy Elliott, Tweet and other hip hop stars can be seen in cameo roles.


    • It never gets too slow or too boring




    Cons: - The characters don't feel realistic in certain situations

    • ...that goes for the plot too. For example, peolpe seem to know a dance routine by looking at it once.


    • The plot is unoriginal, you know where "Honey" is heading.


    Summary: "Honey" is a likeable film, but you have to enjoy listening to hip hop and watch people dance.
