Only two characters in the entire film; one female, the other male.

Greg is right. This movie should not be rated.

What's your problem? The movie doesn't pass the test, period.

Yes, both Sam and Greg are right.
The test has a purpose in pointing out the role of women. In this movie both man and woman have the same weight (or even more the women if you see the end of the movie). With this rating you are only adding noise to the statistics.

Generally I don't like the people who come on here to bitch about what's wrong with the system, but Greg does have a point. There are only two characters in the entire movie.

Basically, films that would not pass a male version of the test either shouldn't be included.

There are alot of things you could accuse this movie of. Propagating a conventional, male-centered world view is definitly not one of them.
