Honey 3: Dare to Dance

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
