Product Description

Nicole and Natalie Appleton and Melanie Blatt of pop group All Saints make their acting debut in David Stewart's swinging Sixties crime caper. Sisters Gerry (Nicole), Mandy (Natalie) and Jo Chase (Melanie) hold up a Carnaby Street jewellers disguised as men. Gerry is the last to get away, and is caught and unmasked next door in the offices of 'Zero' magazine by aspiring journalist Daniel Wheaton (Peter Facinelli). Rather than turn Gerry in, Daniel puts her up for the night. Meanwhile, mob boss Duggie (Corin Redgrave) has worked out who was responsible for the hold-up, and is hot on Gerry's trail. Matters become more complicated still when Daniel's boss, Andrew Pryce-Stevens, arrives at his flat, feeds Gerry a cake filled with hallucinogenic drugs and helps himself to the stolen gems!

Product Description

United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Composer, songwriter, and half of the pop band Eurythmics, Dave Stewart makes his directorial debut with this wacky caper comedy set in the heart of 1960s-era swinging London. Starring three members from British girl band All Saints, the film focuses on a trio of sisters -- cocky Gerry (Nicole Appleton), horny Mandy (Natalie Appleton), and amiable kid sister Jo (Melanie Blatt) - who tape down their breasts, don facial hair, and crack safes in order to help their depressed widowed dad. Local crime lord Duggie Ord (Corin Redgrave) believes that Gerry knows who the thieving lads are, but he has no idea that the real culprits are right in front of his face. While casing a gem dealer on Carnaby Street, Gerry gets herself hired in alternative magazine Zero, which is housed in the same building. There she meets the decadent publisher, Andrew (Jonathan Cake), an upper-class fop, and American Rhode scholar turned draft-dodger Daniel (Peter Facinelli), who takes an immediate liking to Gerry. While Daniel works late, the larcenous trio break into the building and steal a fortune in jewels. On the way out, Daniel runs into Gerry in male garb and the two duke it out until mid-tussle he realizes that his opponent is actually the same young lass he has fallen for. This film was screened at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival, ...Honest

1.0 out of 5 stars Was this a comedy? 8 Aug 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
When this film had finished, I was still trying to work out exactly what I had seen. Was this an attempt at a Brit gangster film? Perhaps it was a comedy of sorts offering a popular culture view of the sixties. Whatever it was meant to be, it was, to say the least, cringeworthy and embarrassing to watch.

Three sisters dress up as men in order to go burgling and in so doing, they hope to get out of the social rut that is the east end of London. The problems with the film start here. The women, despite the disguises, are still obviously female and they still speak in undisguised female voices. Surely no-one would fall for this. The accents are obviously fake cockney and the facial grimmaces when trying to look hard are laughable, and this being set in the sixties, the whole film is sixties cliche overload.

This film was an attempt by the Appleton sisters and Melanie Blatt to break into films, but someone should have had a few words in their ears, and whatever Dave Stewart does, directing a gangster film is not his forte. In my opinion, this film is not recommended viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honestly entertaining. 7 Feb 2011
By Barry
Format:DVD
Honestly its GOOD.
I have just today watched this dvd of 'Honest'
which I bought from a car boot for 50 pence.
I dont normally watch these type of films ,
but to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was surprised there where a lot of negative reviews.
Yes it is very 60s and I agree that some scenes could ,
annoy some people ,reminded me of films like 'Loot'
or 'confessions of window cleaner 'ETC! anyway it cheered ,
me up ,and the acting wasn't as bad as they make out.
I have seen far worse ,its cheap enough ,buy it .
Kind regards Barry.

3.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable caper; HONEST! 9 Nov 2004
Format:DVD
I actually enjoyed this film. It is quite well made and most of the performances are good. I could get picky with quite a few bits but for me the only real hate-point is the turgid 15 minute "Awayday" scenes in the middle of the film that interupt the pace of the story.
This film is one of those curios; popstars leading a film primarily because they are popstars. However I thought the Appletons were good (forgiving the accents!), and Mel Blatt showed some real talent but was sadly under utilised.
Credit to Dave Stewart for actually getting this film made, many people talk about making films but few actually get it done, however I'm not sure we are ready for a sequel just yet.
