    • 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.

    A pleasant surprise
    I stumbled on this while channel-surfing and was pleasantly surprised. Many positive messages tucked in to an appealing story acted out by a surpassingly attractive cast: Be true to yourself; follow your dream (but don't sell out); love your neighbor, stay loyal to your friends, your family, and your 'hood. It reminded me of when I saw Krush Groove as a teen and it gave me a window into a whole other world. Except now hip hop is the dominant pop culture and not exotic anymore. But we still rarely get to see positive characters of color with their emotional depth fully explored. Lil Romeo gives an especially nuanced performance.
