How to Deal dosn't really live up to the high hopes that one might aspect....this movie flopped in theaters and is certainly bound to flop on DVD and VHS...Mandy Moore plays this love cycnical who suddenly out of the blue falls in love with a troublemaker at school...the plot is dazed confusing and toatlly predictable... It jumps around from Mandy's stoned grandmother to Mandy getting into a car accident...What amazed me the most was how people and events were appearing out of nowhere...and I hate to say it girls but Mandy Moore comes out as kind of obnxious in this film...The teen crowd will hate and it was definately not worth twenty three dollars...buy your daughter,niece, sister, or best friend A Walk to Remember instead and let the US Army use this movie to torture terrorist suspects.
