Becky pretty much tells her daughters Emily and Beverly to be quiet so that she can talk to Jack. The only other named adult female is Sona Jillani, and Becky never talks to her.

In the drive through scene, Emily says to Becky that she’s hungry and Becky responds that she knows. Beverly responds to Becky and says that she wants a cheeseburger.

Alex disagreed with the rating and said:
Definitely passes, we have two named female characters, Becky (the mom) and Emily (daughter) talking to each other during the drive through order sequence (0:38.31-35):

Emily: “We’re so hungry!”
Becky: “I know you are. Just hold on.”
Emily: “But we want the toys.”

That is a conversation, not about a man, between two named female characters so this movie passes the Bechdel test.
