Honest (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honest (2000) was a black comedy set in Swinging London in the late 1960s featuring three members of the British/Canadian girl group All Saints. Honest was the directorial debut of ex-Eurythmics member Dave Stewart.
The meandering plot follows the antics of three of the All Saints girls playing gun totin', streetwise and sexy sisters. Members of the band also perform three of the songs on the film's soundtrack.
Despite being promoted heavily at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, the film flopped in its opening week in the UK, earning only $168,000 on more than 200 screens (compared with $4.4 million for Gladiator in its third week), resulting in it being pulled from most UK cinemas. It received blistering reviews, with one critic remarking, "It is the worst kind of rubbish, the kind that makes you angry you have wasted 105 minutes of your life." Honest, which features saucy nude scenes by both nubile Appleton sisters (the only point of which appears to have been distancing them from their wholesome pop music image), has also been dubbed "The All Saints Exposing Their Boobs Movie".[1]
All Saints split acrimoniously the following year.
