Summary: A Walk to Forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: All I can say about this movie is FORGET IT!!!!! Don't waste your money on this one. If you want to see a good Mandy Moore movie, get A Walk to Remember. It is a 5 Star movie. I wouldn't even give this movie 1 star.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: hmmm...
Review: I was really expecting more from this movie,but what I got was a headache! Thie movie has way to much,I don't think I know one teenager who's delt with so much in one year!! Mandy's performance was pretty good,of course she's Mandy Moore. lol Her "love interest" Trent Ford wasn't the best actor,I suggest he get some acting lesson's,he's acting was like one of the b/f on an Olsen Twin movie. I did like the Grandma & Haley's best friend. I think Haley could've learned something from her BFF,she did know what love was,to bad that relationship wasn't shown longer. And for a girl (Haley) who just found out her BFF was pregnant,she sure wasn't scared herself! If you want to see Mandy Moore in a movie,I suggest A Walk to Remember,or even her up coming movie Chasing Liberty. This movie is just to over done!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Too Stressful
Review: Mandy Moore's talents can't save this teenage soap opera. "How to Deal" crams in everything that might occur in many teenagers' lives into Halley Martin's (Moore) life. Parents get a divorce, a friend passes away unexpectedly, another friend becomes pregnant, her sister's about to get married and her father gets remarried. I'm forgetting something... oh yeah, there's a guy named Macon (Trent Ford), rhymes with bacon trying to get with Halley. There's not too much chemistry and "A Walk to Remember" fans will be disappointed. If anything, this movie has extremely funny moments. Like when, Macon tried to throw leaves at Halley, but she blew it back in his face with a leaf blower. What a genius. Then the grandma who liked the other kind of leaves... Wow, this movie made me think that teenagers really don't know how to deal with any problems. Lame.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ~Entertaining! Deals with Real Issues Teens go through ~
Review: Ok. Ok. To the people that bashed and dissed this movie due to the movie "taking on too much at one time" I do agree to a certain point but the fact that this film deals with very real issues that are very serious issues cannot be denied. Also this movie is based on two books by Sarah Dessen and the film is VERY similar to the movie. But any matter, I LOVED this movie.

I have watched it more than once and alwasy notice something new that I love about it.
Mandy Moore is at the brink of her peak of acting! This movie proves what a talented young lady she truly is! She's likable from the first few moments of the movie and her character Halley is someone many teenage girls can relate to.This movie deals with issues that every teenage girl should be able to say "Yeah I remeber that" or "I'm going through that too." It's great for teenagers.

I know I also have a special spot for this film because I loved the book and the similarities are amazing. If you have seen this film and want to get a more in depth look try looking for Sarah Dessen's "Someone Like You" and "That Summer." Or try the "How to Deal" book that combines the both of them.Either way this movie should be given a try.

The extras on this DVD are excellent. The music videos are great, the deleted scenes are good, and the actors segments talking about their characters add even more to the film.

Highly recommended!

Summary: Good Teen Drama, but Not Recomended for other Age Groups
Review: "How to Deal" starring Mandy Moore was an ok, teen drama. It had lots of issues in it that teens face today, such as divorcing and re-marrying of parents, the pressures of sex, teen pregnancy, and some wierd ones such as pot-smoking grandmothers and sisters with hang-overs. Overall, their were cute lines, some humor, and over-all, it was a good teen movie. I am a teen myself, and I thought the movie was preety good. But my mother and pre-teen cousin, didn't appriciate the film that much. If you like mushy-teen dramas that have fairly good messages, buy this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dramatic but still Realistic
Review: Now that you mention it, it does try to cram alot of 'tragedies' into one movie. But I think since I didn't notice it, they played it off smoothly enough. I loved this DVD, including all of the actors. I could have done without the sister's fiance, but I liked Trent Ford. I thought he was different then the typical 'hearthrob quarterback' love interest thankfully playing itself out. I've loved Mandy Moore since A Walk To Remember, but still didn't see this till it came out on video, even then skeptical of it. I liked the music, I guess what got me was the ending song 'That's When I love You,' I just fell in love with that scene. True, I love most teen drama/romance movies, but this one is better than the rest. I think it deals with real issues, but not too dramatically. And I just adored the jedi mind trick!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Two hours of my life I'll never get back
Review: Full of cliches, this movie tried to be like every 80's teen movie starring Molly Wingwall made but falls remarkably short. The chemestry between Macon and Halley as well as her sister and fiance is completely wrong. The believability of this movie is zero and the entertainment value is only slightly higher than that.

I've seen worst, but this movie is not recommended at all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: i was amued
Review: i like this movie because it had a nice story , realistic problems , and a cute romance subplot. mandy moore and trent ford have chemistry and the movie makes you smile. what more can you ask for from a movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: OH MY GOD!
Review: Please...in all honesty...save yourself the Blockbuster late fees on this one! This "film" has to be one of the most pathetic attempts of teen dilemma I have ever seen. Too many plots, too little time. The so-called romance between Halle (Moore) and Macon leaves little to the imagination. I actually didn't even want these two to even hook up! This ridiculous movie makes even the worst episode of 90210 appealing. The most mildly satisfying character/and or plot of this film is the reefer-smoking geriatric...and that's not saying a whole hell of a lot. Save your money and your time!
