Customer Reviews of How to Deal (New Line Platinum Series)
A crossover actress blooms Not all singers can act. Not all actors can sing. Mandy Moore is one of the few that can do both. I enjoyed her part in "The Princess Diaries," but her turn as Jamie in "A Walk to Remember" made me a true Mandy fan. I saw "How to Deal" last night, and it was great. Halley Martin has nothing in common with Jamie Sullivan (except the hair color, but Mandy looks gorgeous as a brunette), and the fact that Mandy can play both parts shows how skilled she is becoming at acting. I haven't read the books, but plan to shortly. If the movie is any indication, the books are good. Trent Ford as Macon is not really the archetypal bad boy, but his aura makes you feel that he is. You can really understand Halley's pain and anger at falling in love when so many people around her are suffering because they let love in. "How to Deal" is another teen movie, but it's a good one. Mandy Moore shines leading a supporting cast of strong actors. If you loved Mandy before, you'll love her even more now.
A Movie worth seeing just for Mandy Moore, a Rising Talent
HOW TO DEAL
(*** 1/2 stars out of 5)
Mandy Moore stars as Halley Martin in 'How To Deal', a coming of age movie aimed for teenage girls. Halley is a teenage high school student who doesn't believe in love because of the examples of love gone wrong around her. Her parents have gotten a divorce, her sister has got engaged to the wrong guy and Halley is left to deal when she meets Macon, a guy that plays mind trick games on her and throws stones at her window at night. A lot happens to Halley in just one whole year of high school which forces her to deal. Her friend's boyfriend tragically dies and then she finds out she's pregnant with his baby, her father gets re-married and her sister Ashley has relationship problems with her soon to be husband. All of this leaves Halley with a bunch of theories on how love just doesn't exist.
The plot is much more suited for a teenage soap opera rather than a movie and originality isn't the movies greatest asset. Sometimes the movie takes on too many subplots than it can handle rather than enjoying the characters freshness but although this is the case what 'How To Deal' does best is show off a rising talent in Mandy Moore. She has a undeniable screen presence, a fresh appeal and she carries her lines with great emotion unlike many of the recent singers turned actresses. The young star rises above the script full of plot holes and she comes across as just plain likeable
Allison Janney is witty and funny as Halley's mom who has her own developed character unlike many other teen moms in various teen movies.
'How To Deal' is a movie worth seeing just to watch Mandy Moore, a gifted actress whom is on the path to superstardom. I believe the best is yet to come from this talented actress.
i love this movie!!!!
i just finished reading Someone Like You and i fell in love with it. then i found out there was going to be a movie and i immediatly went to read That Summer adn rented the movie. it was soooooo good. the characters were believable, the plot was well done, and it was soo emotional. i also prefered the ending of this movie to the books ending. i definetly reccommend watching this movie. it is well worth it
