"How to Deal" is worst film I've seen thus far this summer, and it's sure to be one of the year's worst films as well. Why? It is uneven, typical, and utterly unreal. It is sad when a movie like this... Full review

However, she isnt able to sustain her character in "How to Deal", and in some of her "emotional" scenes, she acts badly.
How to Deal" is the third teen melodrama on Moores rsum, and my advice to her is to stay away from the genre for good.

Love or hate this movie....Surprisingly, a documentary on the history of young adult literature, from the early 1900s to the present day, is genuinely interesting.....director Clare Kilner is pleasant enough to listen to....Far more interesting are two deleted scenes, an alternate version of the wedding, and an alternate ending, all with optional commentary..... ...

It's Moore's scenes with Janney, though, that give the film warmth and realism.
Script is packed with teen angst, but singer remains likable

How to Deal" is much more fun if you use it to catalog examples of ineptitude.
Rising ingenue Mandy Moore may be more than just another pretty face, but you'd never know it by "How to Deal," a movie which you will find almost unbearable unless you are 1.
