The one scene in which the teen girls (there are three with names)might be talking to eachother about something other than sex with boys, is close to the beginning. They are doing hair and one is shown talking AT the others (meant to appear obnoxious). I don't think that counts as a conversation. This could have been a good movie if an ounce of credit had been given to the girls. Don't they have some fears/anxieties/hopes/dreams to explore about growing up? Apparently only boys worry about important things like friendship, acceptance, familial honor, personal achievements. The girls are too focused on marrying their boyfriends one day and whether or not to put out.
