Honest (film)

Honest (film)

"Honest" is a black comedy crime film released in 2000. The film was the directorial debut of ex-Eurythmics member Dave Stewart and starred Peter Facinelli and three members of the British/Canadian girl group All Saints: sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton and Melanie Blatt.

The plot follows the antics of three gun-totin', streetwise and sexy sisters in Swinging London in the late 1960s. The film is most notable for the topless scenes by the Appleton sisters, which lead one critic to dub it the "All Saints Exposing Their Boobs Movie." [ [http://www.cndb.com/movie.html?title=Honest+%282000%29 CNdb: Honest (2000)] "] Blatt and the Appletons also contributed to three of the songs on the film's soundtrack.

"Honest" 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." [ [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192126/news Honest (2000) - News ] ] However, the Sunday Times gave it 4 stars and called it a "cult classic" à la "Amazon Women on the Moon".

The low budget (£3 million) film flopped in its opening week in the UK, earning only £111,309 on 220 screens.

All Saints split acrimoniously the following year.
