Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Honey Daniels is a 22-year-old, sexy, tough-minded, part-black, part-Latina hip-hop dancer in New York's East Harlem who dreams of making it big as a music video choreographer. She teaches hip-hop dancing at a local youth center and encourages the local kids to attend to keep them off the streets and out of trouble. When luck shines on Honey in the form of a famous music video director, named Michael, who casts her in one music video, she's encouraged to make the transition from dancer to choreographer. But Honey's sudden success comes with a price when Michael refuses to take "no" for an answer to his sexual advances and then tries to sabotage her career by blackballing her out of the business.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | For years it was alleged that 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. In 2020, however, director Bille Woodruff dispelled this rumor and revealed that the role was actually written with Beyoncé in mind but Knowles was unable to due 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. See more » |

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. See more » |
