    • 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.
    • 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.

    Decent
    I have just watched "Honey" because of the name of Jessica Alba in the cast. Fortunately I did not pay attention to the unfair and very underrated IMDb User Rating. "Honey" is indeed a delightful and enjoyable feel-good movie. Certainly it is not a masterpiece, and it will never be indicated for an Oscar, but it is not its intention. "Honey" is, first of all, a great homage to hip-hop, with the participation of many stars such as Tweet, Missy Elliot, Blaque, Jadakiss, Ginuwine among others, and awesome dance choreographs. The story has a good message that everybody must fight to make the dreams come true. The stunning Jessica Alba is wonderful in the role of Honey. The story may be corny for bitter viewers, with most of the characters being nice; horrible, for those who have prejudice against poor people or hip-hop; or great for a viewer that appreciate a great entertainment like me. The music score is fantastic, and the DVD released in Brazil by Universal is outstanding, full of wonderful extras. My vote is eight.
