Girl Power. It maybe doesn't look like it's feminist but it is.

Bobbi disagreed with the rating and said:
Just slogged thru this movie so I could be sure. Its very sexist and silly and exploitive. And yes, there's tons of named women who talk about all kinds of things, like school and sports and life and other women they dislike.
So its a 3/3 but its also another example of softcore porn that passes the test simply because there are so many women and so much screen time they can't possibly be talking about men constantly.
