Reception
Honest received unfavourable 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."
The low budget (£3 million) film flopped in its opening weekend in the UK, grossing only £111,309 on 220 screens.[5][6]
British film historian I.Q. Hunter, discussing the issue of "What is the worst British film ever made?", listed Honest as one of the candidates for that title.[7]
