Synopsis:
Honey (Jessica Alba) is a dance teacher in a poor neighbourhood. She wants to teach the poor kids who are passionate about dancing. One fine day, she is selected by a top music video maker Michael (David Moscow). He gives her an opportunity as a dancer in his album. Later he promotes her to the position of dance choreographer. He makes sexual advances and she spurns him. Hurt with her refusal, he fires her from his team. Honey nurses an ambition of having her own dance studio to teach dance to the poor kids. She has already paid half the advance amount and needs to pay the rest. The rest of the story is all about how she fulfils her ambition of owning a dance school.

What is special in the film?
Since it is a dance-based film, you get to see a wide variety of dances to hip-hop music. Heroine Jessica Alba is good. Zachary Williams is very cute.

What I did not like much in the film?
This film is a very ordinary with a predictable plot. The emotions did not work out in this film. The vital climax of the film is not shot well.

The scenes I liked in this film?

1. Honey watches the basketball players and choreographs a dance based on their movements while attaining the goal. (9th chapter of the DVD)

2. Honey telling Michael that he was 10 feet tall when she met him for the first time and has become very small now.

Tailpiece: The rhythm in dance can be invented by observing our surroundings. In this film, the heroine does the choreography by looking at the basketball players. In a Telugu film titled Santosham, Prabhudeva teaches a dance movement to Sunil by mimicking two processes of fixing a light bulb and using a towel to dry the back simultaneously.
