How to watch 'Honey Don't!': Now streaming
Table of Contents
The dynamic duo that brought us Drive-Away Dolls is back with another lesbian crime tale starring Margaret Qualley. Honey Don't!, from Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke, is a dark comedy involving a mysterious church and a small-town detective in click-clacking heels. It also stars Charlie Day, Aubrey Plaza, and Chris Evans.
One of our most anticipated films of the summer, Honey Don't! is now officially available to stream as of Oct. 3. If you missed it on the big screen, here's everything you need to know to tune in from home.
What is Honey Don't! about?
Honey Don't! follows Honey O'Donahue, a small-town private investigator, as she digs into a suspicious car crash. Over the course of the investigation, she crosses paths with a crumpled police detective (Charlie Day), a surly local cop (Aubrey Plaza), and a vain cult leader (Chris Evans). "It's a wild ride with twists, sex, and murder!" Mashable film critic, Kristy Puchko, writes in her review.
Check out the official trailer below.
Is Honey Don't! worth watching?
Honey Don't! has earned just over $7 million at the global box office against a reported budget of $20 million. In other words, it's far from a box office hit. Reviews have been considerably negative, with critics and audiences alike scoring it at less than 50 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not all bad, though.
The star-studded cast of Honey Don't! is reason enough to tune in. Mashable's reviewer called out Qualley's "dynamite" and Evans' hilarious performances in particular. She also writes that the screenplay is "a raw and refreshing caper."
"Honey Don't! offers a taste of something sweet and wild, with the potential for more. And I'm not mad at that," Puchko writes in her review.

Don't have a Peacock subscription? You can sign up for $10.99 per month with ads or $16.99 per month without (thanks to a recent price hike). Before you get ahead of yourself, though, be sure to check out the best ways to save some money on a subscription below.
The best Peacock streaming deals
Best Peacock deal: Save 17% on an annual subscription
If Peacock isn't running any sort of special (which it does a few times per year), the best Peacock deal for most people on any given day is the annual subscription deal. You'll get 12 months of streaming for the price of 10 by paying for a year upfront. A monthly subscription with ads costs $10.99 per month (which adds up to $131.88), but a yearly subscription will only run you $109.99 (which breaks down to about $9.17 per month). That's about 17% in total savings. For those who prefer watching without ads, you'll pay $169.99 per year (which breaks down to about $14.16 per month instead of $16.99).
Best Peacock deal for Xfinity customers: free Peacock Premium for eligible accounts
If you're an Xfinity customer, you should check the eligibility details below before signing up for Peacock, as you might be able to score a subscription without paying a cent. Here's a breakdown of who is eligible to get Peacock for free through Xfinity. You can also head to Xfinity.com for more details.
Xfinity Internet customers who are Diamond or Platinum Xfinity Rewards members can get Peacock Premium for free by redeeming a reward for it. Sign in at xfinity.com/rewards and choose Peacock as a reward. Then, wait for your email (it may take a few hours) with instructions on activating the offer.
NOW TV customers can also receive Peacock Premium as part of their service.
New customers with Xfinity Internet and an X1 TV Box, Flex streaming TV Box, or a Xumo Stream Box from Xfinity can get Peacock Premium for free for six months.
Best Peacock deal for students: Save $8/month for one year
Students can save $8 per month on a Peacock Premium subscription all year long — that's a total of $96 in savings. You'll need to verify your student status via SheerID and retrieve the unique promo code to knock the cost down to just $2.99 instead of $10.99. Just note that after the promo year is up, you'll be charged full price again unless you cancel.
Best for first responders, medical professionals, military, and teachers: Save $7/month
First responders, medical professionals, military personnel, and teachers can all secure a Peacock Premium subscription at a discounted rate of $3.99 per month by verifying their professional status via SheerID. Unlike the student deal, however, it's not limited to a year. If you continue to meet verification qualifications, you can renew your subscription at the discounted rate each year — although you may have to go through the verification process each time and receive a new promo code.
Best for Instacart users: free Peacock Premium for Instacart+ subscribers
Instacart+ membership ($99.99 per year) unlocks a free Peacock Premium subscription ($109.99 per year value). That's on top of free grocery delivery, lower fees, and credit back on eligible pickup orders. Plus, if you're new to Instacart+, you'll get a free two-week trial to test the waters. That means you can watch Honey Don't! and plenty more for free. Just be sure to cancel before you're charged.
Best for Mastercard holders: Get up to $5 back per month
Through Dec. 31, if you sign up for Peacock using an eligible World or World Elite Mastercard, you'll automatically receive a monthly statement credit of $3 for Peacock Premium or $5 for Peacock Premium Plus. That ultimately drops the price of the Premium tier back to $7.99 (its former price before the most recent price hike) and Premium Plus down to $11.99 per month. Learn more about eligibility requirements on the promotional page.
Best for Walmart shoppers: free Peacock Premium for Walmart+ members
In an effort to compete with Amazon Prime, Walmart is now offering Walmart+ members the ability to choose Peacock Premium as a free perk. A $109.99 value, your $98 Walmart+ membership is already a better deal than paying for Peacock on its own. Add in free shipping (with no order minimums), fuel discounts, a Scan & Go checkout tool, and early access to deals during Walmart's Black Friday sale and other major shopping events, and you've got yourself a winning subscription.
