Cloris Leachman is given credit for a named character, but the teacher she plays has one line and is never referred to by name in the movie. The Mom, Annie Hughes (Jennifer Aniston), never speaks to another female character.

Rani disagreed with the rating and said:
She does speak to another waitress at the diner she works at near the beginning of the film. However, the waitress doesn't seem to have a name, and they talk about a man not wanting any condiments on his food, so it still doesn't completely pass the test.
