one of the best mandy moore movies ever!
next to a walk to remember... LOVEEE it!

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.

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.

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.

it's a striaght out all the way around great movie and heart warming
