Story: I've noticed that a lot of the reviews have downvoted the story, but I personally didn't have any real qualms with it. It was cute; it didn't try to go too deep, but that was really to be expected from a (less than) hour movie. The story follows the love stories of three high school girls, as they try to figure out how to confront their feelings. Very shoujo. I would've preferred if the story had focused primarily on one romance, the one between Natsuki and her crush, but it was rather refreshing to see the different character interactions from characters that had appeared in Honeyworks's songs. (As a standalone, I understand why people weren't big fans of the story, but I'll elaborate upon that more later.)

Art: Personally, I really liked the art style. It's very clean, in the same style as Honeyworks' MVs, and there wasn't a depreciation (so to say) in the quality of the animation and the artwork in between scenes. I do feel that there could've been a little bit "more" whenever a character paused, but overall, it wasn't terribly jarring.

Sound: As a fan of Honeyworks's songs, I really enjoyed the music. The VAs did a great job at conveying the feelings of their characters, and the songs, though sometimes a bit awkwardly incorporated into the story, were solid on their own. The BGM was pleasant too.

Characters: As I said earlier, the story doesn't delve too deep, and neither did the characters. I feel that in certain respects, Honeyworks intended for this movie to be presented to a certain demographic (fans of Honeyworks's songs), and they intended for the feelings and characterizations of the characters to be revealed through the music. The characters are "okay," with minor character flaws, but none of them seem to be particularly memorable, even if acquainted with Honeyworks.

Enjoyment: I enjoyed watching this. It was cute and light-hearted, a nice pick-me-up when I just felt tired. Although I can't say that it's a new favorite of mine, I can't deny that I liked it and would watch it again.

In summary: if you enjoy watching shoujo and have some spare time, give it a try--especially if you're a Honeyworks fan.
