Honey is a 2003 hip-hop dance film starring Jessica Alba as Honey Daniels. It had three Direct to Video sequelsnote that didn't star Jessica Alba.

The film provides examples of:
- 555: Honey's number is 555-9720.
- As Himself: Missy Elliott, Jadakiss, Sheek and many other hip-hop dancers appear as themselves in the movie.
- Dolled-Up Installment: All three sequels are unrelated films that just have the name "Honey" labeled on the title.
- Friend to All Children: Honey is friendly to children, particularly Raymond.
- Plot Hole: Honey and Raymond see Benny entering a restaurant, but later encountered him seconds later as he is eating a plate of food.
- Ms. Fanservice: Honey Daniels is played by Jessica Alba, so it naturally happens.
- No Smoking: There is a no smoking sign by the record store.
