DVD Reviews of How to Deal (New Line Platinum Series)
DVD Review: "What do you expect when you break your own rules..."
Summary: 3 Stars
How to Deal starring Mandy Moore feels more like a t.v. movie than a cinema film. Moore is pretty good here, I prefer her acting than her singing. I wish this film wasn't so much like a soap opera, the dialogue is somewhat boring but there are some likable moments as well. Ok teen film but I've seen better.DVD Review: best mandy moore movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

DVD Review: It is an okay movie...
Summary: 2 Stars
but nothing to boast about. Typical teen movie. Not recommended for the whole family. It is about one teens struggle with love. She doesn't recommend it. In fact, she suggests that people just get a divorce before they get married to save them that last step. DVD Review: Likeable
Summary: 3 Stars
I definately can connnect with Mandy Moore's character's feelings. She's believable. Allison Janney is really solid, as usual. All of the characters are important and well played. It's fun but I appreicated it more after I saw a time or two. It grew on me. It's not the first thing I pick up when I have a choice but I'm not willing to part with it either.DVD Review: Finally, a GOOD teen movie...
Summary: 3 Stars
I love a good cheesy teen movie, and I was expecting How to Deal to be another one of those movies in the vein of Mean Girls or John Tucker Must Die. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. How to Deal is not your typical teen comedy and, in fact, is more drama than comedy. Mandy Moore plays a teenage girl who is dealing with her parents' divorce, her father's remarriage, her sister's engagement, and her own cynical views on true love. At the same time, a close friend dies and she finds out her best friend is pregnant. This is a movie rife with teen issues that rarely see the light of day, and it's handled in a clever and amusing way. The characters are thoroughly fleshed out, so there's no point where you're sitting around wondering about their motivations. And all these issues are covered from the sides of both the teenagers and the adults. How to Deal is not just another teen movie. It's a GOOD teen movie, which sadly is a rarity these days.
Description of How to Deal (New Line Platinum Series)
Mandy Moore stars as Halley, a young hip high school student who believes that love will never happen to her and that her life is a mess. Her father is marrying a woman she can't stand, her mother is alone, her sister's wedding plans are taking over her life and her friends at school only care about cheerleading and football. All seems lost until she meets a boy who shows her what love is all about.Teen idol Mandy Moore (A Walk to Remember) learns how to deal with an awful lot--How to Deal crams divorce, teen pregnancy, a wedding, a car accident, and a pot-smoking grandmother into a single year in the life of Halley Martin (Moore). Halley's so resentful of her parents' divorce (and her father's impending remarriage) that she resolves not to fall in love--so of course a hunky guy named Macon (Trent Ford) decides that she's the girl for him and woos her with gentle persistence. Two things save all of this from being a teenage soap opera: First, a refreshingly realistic (though not explicit) and unjudgmental look at teenage sex; second, a sterling supporting cast, including Allison Janney (The West Wing), Peter Gallagher (sex, lies, and videotape), and Dylan Baker (Happiness), alongside pleasant young actors like Alexandra Holden (Sugar and Spice). --Bret Fetzer
