Movie Reviews

Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura Clifford"How to Deal" is a random assemblage of contrary situations, hoary marital comedy cliches and out-of-left-field teen melodrama.
Houston Chronicle - 9/10 by Bruce WestbrookHow to Deal is a 'dramady' of a film, with first-time director Clare Kilner fighting valiantly to balance its heaviness with humor. Though it's no Terms of Endearment, she pulls it off.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekServes up a losing hand of mawkish melodrama, cheap humor and insipid romance.
Baltimore Sun - 8/10 by Chris KaltenbachThere's pleasure to be had in a film that suggests teen life can be hard without necessarily being tragic.
Critic Doctor - 8/10 by Peter SobczynskiAfter a summer filled with robots, explosions, car crashes, fart jokes and lazy-eyed skanks battling Demi Moore, here is a simple, unassuming film that actually dares to include the human element into the mix.
Dallas Morning News - 8/10 by Matt WeitzRequire[s] only the presence of Scott Baio to qualify as fodder for an after-school special.
State Journal-Register (Springfield, IL) - 8/10 by Paul PovseIn its non-hysterical depiction of the fog of personal relationship wars, the movie gently makes the point that, yeah, it really is a wild world out there.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 8/10 by Eleanor Ringel CaterA much better deal than you're probably expecting.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Ellen FoxThis is a movie whose title promises to show teenage viewers how to cope with the messed-up, grown-up world they are entering, not how to make it perfect -- or even how to make sense of it.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 8/10 by Eleanor Ringel GillespieA much better deal than you're probably expecting.
