Honey 3: Entrez dans la danse

It's a cheap replica of Step Up. It doesn't make you feel the energy of dancing, as it should be doing. Movies that involve dancing have to keep the audience engaged all the time and not let them fall into boredom, as this one is doing. And because you not only have to deal with dance, you also have music, which is another key that this movie didn't got it right. People should vibrate and resonate with the emotions shared through music and dancing, but this one just keeps selling us "corny" talks. What a shame.

Dancing is the prime thing of the film, not much of a plot though.

While watching the film its feel like someone amateur neighborhood kids is trying to make a movie as an experiment or a summer project. I will not say that the acting was terrible but the thing is nothing about this movie was professional- not the acting or the camera work. And the story was too predictable without any twist or turns, also there was no story build up at all. Things were happening as script writer wants no correlation between the scenes.

One thing happened a lot in film and it was dancing and the sad part of it was most of the dancing was out of context. Sadly I was not impressed by the dancing either.

To Sum It Up : Not Recommended.

This film tells the story of a young woman who is forced to drop out of school because of financial problem. She continues to pursue her passion, and organises a one night only hip hop version of Romeo and Juliet in the local theatre.

"Honey 3: Dare to Dance" surprises me a lot, because it doesn't follow the typical formula of the characters taking part in a major dance competition. Rivalry takes place between the two leading ladies, but there is little rivalry between groups. Indeed the usual rivalry takes a back seat here, and people actually cooperate, which is a refreshing change. It is also interesting to see a hip hop Shakespearean play. I like this film because it breaks away from the usual formula.

Let's first have a look at the heritage of the movie. Honey (The original movie with Jessica Alba) is truthfully trying to portrait a subculture within all its beauty as well as flaws. The entire cast so genuinely human, driven forward by all the very well curated dance sessions. The other heritage of the Honey 3 script is Julia & Romeo, a conflicted deep lovestory by Shakespeare everyone knows. I think the heritage is the only thing carrying this hollow skeleton of a movie called Honey 3. The cast ist very unfortunately choosen, music selection (base of every good dance movie) couldn't be any worse regarding diversity as well as complexity and the storyline - well there pretty much is none. It's truly a waste of time, please spare your self some awfully bad invested minutes and do not watch this movie. This is the first movie description I've ever written, just because I really couldn't believe how someone has a vision of producing a movie and then comes up with this?! 🦀

This movie was made in Cape Town. There is not one South African accent in the whole movie. Even the street thugs speak with an American accent.
