Reckon it'll pass the bechdel test?

^ doubt it. Bridesmaids made 288 million on a low budget of 32.
That was five years ago. Aside from Pitch Perfect I cannot think of many all female casts since then and this one has three of the same team that made the former.

I think we are seeing more women-focused film and tv emerging, though. Orphan Black (Tatiana Maslany works hard!), Orange is the New Black, The Good Wife, Fury Road etc.

I personally am so, so utterly bored of Straight White Male protagonist stuff - so much of it is the same old story with different props. I try to make a conscious choice to avoid it where possible. I can't be the only one, so I feel fairly positive about seeing more non-SWM stuff in the future.

I hope it makes enough money to green light another - the ending is set for a sequel & I think the next one will be much better (even though this one was great - I genuinely loved it). This one was very much a 'nod' to the original & establishing the characters/roles but with some genuinely funny comedy too. The 4 main characters were fantastic & I think it would be great to see them develop further. I particularly loved Leslie Jones - I know she's SNL but I hadn't seen her before & I think she's great.

Saw this yesterday with the family

Really enjoyed it

Loved all the little nods and i thought the charactors were excellent, i keep thinking of funny bits to tell people

My only criticism was that Chris Hemsworths charactor was a bit too stupid...but very pretty

Don't think you can criticise this movie re feminism. I've seen it and Chris Hemsworth's character, Kevin, is portrayed as thick and pretty. Not just a bit thick, but too thick to actually function. He gets (and stays) employed because he is gorgeous.

Was dragged along to this and I rather liked it. Great characters and I really like the way the women responded to the villain's Elliot Rogers-style speech. He wasn't a dirty foreigner, but rather a home-grown MRA. Nice change.

Wish we could have a blockbuster type film with feminist super heroes fighting the evil MRAs. Now THAT'S a film I would pay good money to see! 😀👹👻👽
