Claire gives her daughter until the count of three to stop misbehaving, and the mostly female book club discusses a book.

There's also the female lieutenant who is a significant minor character and converses with Tina Fey. I'm pretty sure she's named in the credits.

I suppose it passes the test, but this is one of the most depressingly bass-ackwards movies I have seen in its depiction of gender roles in marriage. From it, I learned that women need to be careful not to "let themselves go" and that they need to trust that their husbands have everything under control and that they know what is best. Also, even though your husband manifests incompetence in all tasks related to family life, it is your fault for not believing in him and encouraging him. Seriously, this movie should come with a warning label. Better yet, it should be destroyed entirely.
