This film doesn't set out for greatness, which is good as it doesn't even come close.

There are some real issues discussed and dealt with here, but I fear they are basically lost in the poor dialogue and erratic direction.

How to Deal would be a terrible movie anyway, but here are seven reasons parents with children under 13 years old might want to practice due diligence: sex scenes, the F-word, teenage pregnancy, teenage death, tobacco use, alcohol use, drug use.

Even Moore fans may find this hard to deal with.
