'How to Deal'
!["How to Deal" is an appealing teen picture that is a little too tidy for a film exploring how messy life can be. Some moments ring true, others seem contrived, but the film is by and large sustained by strong central performances and by its depth. At all times it is anchored by a sense that 17-year-old Halley (Mandy Moore) is discovering the reality of unrelenting change in everyday life.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-07/8628116.jpg ""How to Deal\" is an appealing teen picture that is a little too tidy for a film exploring how messy life can be.

'Winter Solstice'
![In Josh Sternfeld's understated "Winter Solstice," the absence of a wife and mother in a family household is palpable. Long before Sternfeld lets his audience know the woman did in fact die in a car accident, it is clear that Anthony LaPaglia's Jim Winters, a New Jersey landscape architect, is a widower and not a divorcé. Well before Jim angrily reminds his older son, Gabe (Aaron Stanford), how hard he has worked to hold his family together, his efforts are abundantly clear.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-04/17042934.jpg "In Josh Sternfeld's understated "Winter Solstice,\" the absence of a wife and mother in a family household is palpable.

This time, it's ladies' night
Times Staff WritersPoor Meryl Streep. Her blond hair apparently untouched by the blow dryer, she nervously patted her unwaiflike figure to make sure it was really still in her crystal-beaded jacket. She seemed flustered, a bit out of breath. But, having just won best...Tags: Nia Vardalos, Death, Breast, Literature, Goldie Hawn

Big Night
TIMES FILM CRITICFriday September 20, 1996 As delicately and deliciously prepared as the dishes it features, "Big Night" is a lyric to the love of food, family and persuasive acting.
