Michael said:
Once, Maria and Rose talk to each other briefly, in essence about a man, but Maria and Roberta also have a word with each other about looking good and whether to dance or not. So the film passes the test, but only just.

Jennifer Sloan disagreed with the rating and said:
Technically yes it does pass the test. But just barely. There are only 2 named female characters, one is a wife / new mom, the other is a girlfriend of the main character. Their entire roles are based in their relationships to men.
