Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Honey Daniels is a 22-year-old, sexy, tough-minded, part-black, part-Latina hip-hop dancer in New York's East Harlem who dreams of making it big as a music video choreographer. She teaches hip-hop dancing at a local youth center and encourages the local kids to attend to keep them off the streets and out of trouble. When luck shines on Honey in the form of a famous music video director, named Michael, who casts her in one music video, she's encouraged to make the transition from dancer to choreographer. But Honey's sudden success comes with a price when Michael refuses to take "no" for an answer to his sexual advances and then tries to sabotage her career by blackballing her out of the business.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The title role was written with Aaliyah in mind and she had actually accepted the role but died in August 2001 before she had begun filming. However, it was proven false and that the role was written with Beyoncé in mind. Beyoncé skipped the project due to touring. See more » |
| Goofs | When Honey is distributing posters with her father, as the camera pans out after they put up the poster you can see "Queen Video" on a sign across the street, indicating not New York City but Queen St. W in Toronto. See more » |

Chaz:
Besides, I never mess up a kid's head, especially when his mom's in the shop. Honey: [Chuckles] He's eight. That would have made me 14. I'm not that kind of girl. Chaz: My bad. Honey: We just peoples. Raymond: Yeah, we peoples. Chaz: You peoples? Playa, playa, how'd you swing that? I've been tryin' to be her peoples for weeks. Ain't had no luck. Raymond: I got flow. [All laughing] Chaz: I got flow too. You don't think I got some flow? Raymond: Maybe not as much as me. See more » |
