The movie has four named women. Katie, Becky, Phoebe and Dede. Phoebe and Katie have a conversation about the challenges of dating (male) addicts. That's the only meaningful female interaction in the film.

Agree. In fact, it's remarkable that this movie fails. Becky runs into Adam & Phoebe at a restaurant but the women never speak to each other (in fact, Phoebe doesn't speak at all in this encounter). Adam & Phoebe have dinner at Mike & Katie's, but somehow Phoebe only speaks to Mike. (Later Katie & Phoebe do speak in the kitchen, but as James point out [above], it's about their men.) There is another woman, Roberta (according to IMDB), but I believe she is known only as "Neil's mom." What a shame for a movie with multiple women characters.
