Honey 3: Dare to Dance

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.

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 is what all dance movies should be about. It's filled with great music and choreography. Acting isn't the top but for it's low budget movie is nicely done. Plot is pretty exciting and costumes... wow, plus this South African vibes makes it unique. I recommend it for anyone who is or have been into dancing.

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.

And I'm not talking about you as a viewer, but the characters in this. It's a movie about dancing. I think it's a safe bet, that plenty of people will take you up on that dare. Pretty much everybody to tell the truth. But I deter and watching this you know what you get yourself into. Obviously the character in this, is way over her head, in the story that is.

There is not much of a story here, maybe you saw the first Honey movie with Jessica Alba, who had a bit more charisma than the main actress in this one. But it's not all down to charisma. It's down to your love of watching people dance. Does that float your boat? Than by all means watch it. If not, just don't and save yourself some time
