Reader’s Choice: What’s Your Favorite Scene?

My favorite scene from “Honey” is, hands down, the opening club scene where part time bartender, and part time dance teacher Honey really gets noticed on the dance floor. This isn’t your high flying superhero “Fantastic Four” Jessica Alba or your clumsy zoologist “Good Luck Chuck” Jessica Alba, this is hot and lithe hip-hop Jessica heating up the night club dance floor in her first real starring role. I’ve read Alba trained with professionals and practiced heavily for the dance scenes, and it shows in her first dance scene. She’s not as skilled as some of the back up video dancers in later scenes, but in this opening sequence you can see why she is the star. She holds her own in all the dance scenes, and every outfit she wears looks fantastic. Alba has great on screen chemistry with costars Lil’ Romeo and Mekhi Fifer, and she is convincing as the good but street wise girl who makes it big but won’t sell out and doesn’t forget her roots. Plus, with a beat filled and inventive soundtrack, great music video sequences and hip-hop music cameos from likes of Jadakiss, Genuine, Tweet and Missy Elliot, “Honey” is a hip-hop fan favorite.
