This film deserves a "!" as there is only a single speaking role for a woman in the entire film and it lasts roughly 30 seconds.

Exactly one woman gets exactly one line (she's a secretary).

I only remember Christine Taylor's character (unnamed) speaking in the Simple Jack trailer.

Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt are both mentioned by name, and both appear in the movie.

Should be 1/3.

Should be 1/3.

Maria Menounos (playing herself, but only named in the credits so I won't count her) says "recently, Speedman (Stiller) opened up to Tyra." Tyra Banks (playing herself) is then shown interviewing Speedman.

Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel) asks Alpa Cino (Brandon T. Jackson), "Are you still dating Jennifer Love Hewitt?"

Hewitt appears in a cameo later in the film.
