Honey: Rise Up and Dance

Terrible stereotyped boring hip-hop dancing film. All the female actors/dancers filled up those roles just looked pretty cheap, showing cheap sexual movements like street walkers, very filthy and dirty dancing skills on every soundtrack. The carp-mouthed & lipped leading actor and all of those females didn't give you any pure dancing aesthetic but sexual flesh and meat tricks, making the so-called Hip-Hop dance more like the other way to pimp around. I like this specific dance and love it what we have seen in "So You Think You Can Dance" and some of the other similar genre dancing movies, but not this one. It just felt cheap and abject, rustic and wild. The film itself also showed its limit in script and scenario.

Higher rating for the music only. Unlikable characters, choreography from the strip club and stale acting. Just watch Save the Last Dance 2 and stop at Honey 2. Better everything with similar storylines, but with more substance and culture.

The dancing in this movie is terrible, just like one reviewer wrote it's nothing but just touching themselves. It really did look like they hired a bunch of strippers to make this movie. I'm a big fan of dance, hip hop to be specific, movies and this one was just a disappointment.

Street dancing cheese, but not all that horrible. Teyana might be the most believable dancer and actress of the lot // the others seem to be faking one or the other.

I love dance movies from Center Stage right up to Step Up but this movie is such a let down. I loved the first Honey movie so many moves from it were used in dance competitions. When it was first released it was new, fresh and exciting for young dancers to copy Honey and make it their own feeling confident on the floor. Personally I hope to never see 90% of the choreography in this movie in a competition or dance movie again, its not dancing when all you're doing is feeling yourself and shaking your ass. Granted both can be incorporated into a routine but they should not be all of what it is comprised of. If this is the future of dance movies and Hip Hop dance in general I feel truly sorry for future generations of upcoming dancers.
