Review of How to Deal (2003) by Cheri H — 02 Jun 2012
This movie was a seriously terrible adaptation of 2 novels (Someone Like You & That Summer) written by the best selling teen fiction author, Sarah Dessen. Honestly, I think Kilner shouldn't have combined both novels together.
By compressing both stories into one movie, she emitted a lot of crucial details. The result was a sappy, melodramatic and unorganized mess that made the protagonist look like an self-centered, overly dramatic & angst ridden teenage drama queen.
The film was further destroyed by the terrible performance delivered by Mary Garrison. This movie makes all teenagers and hopeless romantics look bad.
