Hm. There are two women - Jamie Lee Curtis' character and Tia Carrere's character - and they do talk, if trading insults counts. It's not even about men, although there's a man at the back of it.

There are a few named women: Helen, Harry's wife, Juno Skinner, the villain, Dana, Helena and Harry's 14 year old daughter who gets kidnapped, the security agent, Janice, the secretary, Charlene, Helen's coworker Allison, and an agent with no lines named Francis.

Helen and Allison only talk about men. Charlene and Helen only talk about Harry.

However, Helen tells Dana that what she's doing at the kitchen counter is disgusting and Dana tells her to calm down.

And yes, Helen and Juno trade insults in the car, after Juno grabs her and forces her into the car as a hostage.

The movie is a technical pass.

I don't know if it should be a technical pass or not like some have suggested... but it should DEFINITELY be upgraded to 2+ women talk to each but about men.

It's current rating is 100% false.
