Today marks the 10th anniversary of Honey. No, not the Mariah Carey song. Think harder. Er, dumber? Yes, the Jessica Alba movie. Directed by Bille Woodruff (known for megahits like Bring It On: Fight to the Finish), Honey tells the harrowing story of Honey Daniels (Alba), a struggling NYC ballet-turned-hip-hop-dancer with dreams of being a top choreographer. Enter: Michael Ellis (David Moscow), a David LaChapelle-esque music video director who offers her a ticket to stardom, introducing her to everyone from Jadakiss to Ginuwine. (2003, so crazy.) Of course, Ellis cuts her off when he realizes she doesn't want that D. Thus, it takes the people around her—her BFF (Joy Bryant), her man (Mekhi Phifer), and her crew (Lil' Romeo and Zachary Williams)—to help her see that she can make it on her own, or whatever.
So in honor of this firm pop culture fixture, take a walk down memory lane with 10 Things You Forgot About Honey. Besides, well, everything.
