Movie is just like step up 1,2 and Streetdance..only worse. Acting isn't good, it just didn't reach me or my friend...dancing is solid but missing that 'WOW' effect..Kat Graham is not a good hip-hop dancer..She looks like she's just having a seizure..i'm a bit disappointed because she's a very good actress in The Vampire Diaries.Moreover, I prefer other dance movies 'cause they have much better love story and the plot is better imagined. I'm just not impressed.I don't think the message is sent..The main couple doesn't have that needed chemistry so everything is just boring and shallow..The movie looks like writers wanted it to be in the same 'line' as other dance movies, but it's not. Honey 1 was much better as a matter of fact.
I appreciate good movies (dance included) but this one is just an insult on the viewers and Honey 1. Firstly the storyline is nothing to write about, acting and dancing are borderline annoying and the lead act is nothing close to Jessica Alba..... Remember in the beginning when Mrs Daniels said if anyone would be like Honey it would be Maria, big lie.... Truth is she sucks, the whole movie is whack by all standard. Someone who is supposed to be a role model gives in to every challenge and test no matter how little and unnecessary they are. The choreography in Honey 1 is way better than this despite the fact that it's much older. I guess the producers didn't put much thought into this, if not they shouldn't have made this, even if they would it should have been under a totally different name because there is no comparison between this and Honey 1
Honey 2 is the best dance movie of all times.The reasons why I think so: 1) The dancing/choreography is awesome. She hits so hard. Look at the first scene in jail, for example. The group's weakest performance is probably the final on battle zone. 2) The second most important reason why I dig this movie is: The message it sends is deeper, better, and more realistic than in Step Up 1 & 2 and other dance movies. It's about dealing with problems by being constructive rather than destructive. It's about tensions within the group. In some of the other dance movies, the message is so pathetic, I don't even want to mention it. 3) The movie is so packed with dance scenes. I'd say it has more cumulative dance time than any other movie. 4) The actors are so cute and can actually dance. No doubles as in Dirty Dancing. 5) I just really like it, especially Kat and the girls, but really all of the HD group. The characters and lines of the girls blew me away.
This was worse than I expected, and I did not even expect that much. The quality of this movie might just explain its rather limited cinema release here in the UK. Firstly, the film has minimal relevance to its predecessor. The dance moves and lead character are on a far different tone. How? It appears to have been sexualised, and this has ruined it in my honest opinion. This film had more in common with 'You got served' than Honey 1. At least 'You got served' had brilliant dancing and a climatic showdown at the end (more important for such a movie). We have cheesy acting, cheesy dancing & slutty tones all over. We are supposed to feel sorry for the lead character when she decides to hook up with her ex, after he demonstrated how thuggish he still was at a nightclub by picking a fight with her dance partner. We are supposed to believe that the police are dumb enough not to search the girlfriend of someone who has a history of narcotics possession when he is stopped. I don't know about the U.S, but over here in the U.K they can still hold a juvenile female suspect until a female officer arrives to carry out a body search. Not in this case, they just leave the scene believing all is OK! We are supposed to believe that a dance competition would allow a lead member of a competing dance group to sit on the audition judge panel! To top it all off, our star dance crew blatantly rips off Step up 3 with their kit in the end scene. I had some hopes for this movie, and tried to like it, but there was too much cheese and stupidity thrown in my face. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one to notice.
