This might be the only movie to fail the reverse Bechdel test -- there are no conversations between two male characters at all. Most of the woman/woman conversations are about fashion and style, but there are many serious discussions of jobs, publishing and life.

Nope, it evens passes the reverse test. There's a scene in which Andy and her boyfriend are hanging out with their friends, and one of those friends is male. Unless I'm mistaken, the male friend and the boyfriend talk briefly (about fashion or something, I think.).

But the question is do both male characters have names?

Heather disagreed with the rating and said:
Two of the women, the main character and her good female friend talk in the friends gallery about Christian. The women talk about this man and Andy's boyfriend. How Andy was totally in love with Nate and now her friend thinks she's cheating with Christian.
