Summary:
This is the story of Honey (Alba), a tough sexy dancer from the inner city, who becomes a successful music video choreographer, a career which is threatened when her mentor makes her either sleep with him... or get blacklisted within the industry. She ultimately decides to pursue her lifelong dream of opening her own dance studio for inner-city youths. Lil' Romeo plays a young dancer who has to choose between pursuing a career as a dancer and the quick money of street drug sales; Phifer plays Honey's romantic interest.



I think I'll wait for the DVD

Yeah, me too.

I seen the previews, it looks alright but it reminds me of that one movie Save the Last Dance (I think that's The name of it).

Does anyone know if the following people are African-Americans?

Directed By: Bille Woodruff
Written By: Alonzo Brown & Kim Watson


If so, I might catch it the theater on opening weekend so we can keep more Blacks behind the camera.

I heard about this a little while ago & reading the description now I think I'll wait for the DVD also:rolleyes:

This really pisses me off.

I have a sands who is a writer. MTV is currently trying to get her to re-adapt a story she had written that was basically a drumlime-type story but with BGLOs. They said it looked like she was writing a movie for her and her "friends" and that no one would see it except "us."

Mind you some white guy is simultaneously shopping a story about a white guy who is "pledging" a BGLO. Ugh...

They said that the sistah in the move should have some shite friends, maybe a white roommate, perhaps the main character could be white and that the Black female could just be the white girls friend who happens to be in a Black Sorority. Mind you they said they wanted a movie that showcased stepping, and all that Black sororities are about. Her focus was basically community service (of course) and the way that influences the art of stepping and some other artsy-fartsy relation to that and sisterhood and etc., etc. (she's real artsy-fartsy).

My point is, how is the white chick (read: not Black) going to star in a move in which the entire cast is Black?

I am sick and tired of these movie execs acting like our story isn't worthy. Our story wouldn't make money. Our story has to have white folks in it or it's not real. Why can't our story just be our story, without the usual over-romanced storyline (Brown Sugar, etc.) While I am thankful for the positive portrayal that is offeered in these flicks...What's worse is when you have Black writers telling our story then it's not good enough, but when white folks do...or if it has enough white folks in it...then it's okay.

Could there not have beena sistah playing the lead role in this movie?

Sorry, I saw the trailer for the movie last night and almost barfed on myself. Jessica Alba, give me a fu__ing break...she's the friggin' new flavor and "they" are trying to blow her up. Period point blank. Good for her...otherwise, boo...just BOOOOOO!!!!!

Bille Woodruff is Black as is ALonzo Brown...I am unsure about Kim Watson. I bet you a miliion dollars (I am mad I said that) that the lead was a Black girl...I bet!!!

We are in a bind here because based on the ethnicity of the writers and director, and it's his directorial debut, one wants to support, but it's not okay white people...it's not.

I was thinking the SAME thing..... Save the Last Dance, the 2003 version.

I'll wait for the DVD or for it to come on cable.

If you saw Jessica Alba on Punk'd, that guy that was with her that looks like Tevin Campbell is Billie Woodruff. I was starting to wonder if they were an item because every premiere she went to, she had him as her date.

:eek: What?
I sensed a little *you know* from him (insert Fred Sanford hand gesture here) . :confused:

That wouldnot be surprising.

Besides, wasn't she engaged to that guy from her show Dark Angel??? HE was a cutie.

Billie Woodruff definitely has on a DIRTY SHIRT!!! ;)

The preview reminded me more of a modern day Flashdance than anything. I wasn't planning on spending money on it.

Uh. . . I think I'll just wait for y'all to come back and tell me about it. . .

Yeah they can tell me all about it while I am watching the LOTR: TT Special edition DVD, lol.

I think I'll just wait for it to come on Black Starz late one night
