Although there are plenty of women in Superbad, there isn't a single instance that we see them actually talking to one another.. only to the other male characters.

The girls in the mall towards the end...and they aren't talking about any male characters.

i agree with Steve, they are talking about her need to get a new comforter at the end, not about guys.

also, very early in the movie, we see Jules talking to another girl about the upcomming party. the second girl isn't named, but it still sneaks in.

Yes, this definitely passes because of the conversation at the end.

Whoever said this movie only passes 1 out of 3 tests clearly did not watch it through to the end. Jules and Nicola have a conversation at the end about the party. They did not even mention a boy's name.

There's plenty of girl talk in this movie but usually about guys. Granted, guys only talk about girls or alcohol in this movie.

As has been addressed, this movie has:
2 named women in it who talk to each other not about men.
