While it is amazing that Honey launches into end credits the way it does, perhaps even more amazing is the fact that it is not quite over. With one more scene up its sleeve, what plot thread does this film choose to clarify or conclude? Is it regarding Michael Ellis, or Benny and Raymond's mom, or Honey's relationship with her own mom? Perhaps the real question is, what does Honey think the audience wants to see more of?

The answer, unfortunately, is "Even more professional triumph for Honey": Missy Elliott arrives at what is presumably Honey's new dance studio, greeting her with warm familiarity before introducing with Blaque , a girl group perhaps best known for already fading to one-hit-wonder obscurity three years before this movie came out. Surely, Missy is hoping that Honey's Midas touch will turn these young ingenues' career around, but they're in for quite a shock when they realize her only move is turning up the corners of her mouth and waiting for a $9,000 paycheck.

Dance movies exist for two reasons: (1) to provide exciting dance sequences, and (2) to teach us that no matter who you are, or where you come from, you can make your dreams come true if you just believe in yourself. Sadly, due to Honey's abysmal failure to deliver on the former, it's hard to buy the latter. Why should Honey believe in herself when she sucks? Why should we enjoy watching good things happen to her when she sucks?

Additionally, when it comes to the power of positive thinking and self-confidence, Honey crosses the line from "inspiring" to "supernatural." In fact, Honey doesn't make it on her own terms by believing in herself -- she makes it because Michael Ellis is terrible at his job and wants to have sex with her. Notably, Honey never gives Michael due credit for giving her a free ride to the top of the industry; instead, she fancies herself a saint for trying to get neighborhood kids off the streets, while robbing their parents blind in order to do so.

Ultimately, however, Honey's greatest crime is providing Jessica Alba with her first starring role. And, just like Honey herself, Alba's shocking incompetence here foreshadowed nothing but commercial success that continues to this day. Never before has the message "ANYONE can make their dreams come true" been so depressing.
