The Social Network
2010
This Golden Globe Best Picture awardee fails despite its numerous accolades, based solely on the fact that none of the few females in the film (Rooney Mara, Brenda Song, and Rashida Jones, among others) ever talk to each other.

The Transformers franchise
2007–2011

The Harry Potter series
2001–2011
Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) is considered one of this generation’s strongest, most three-dimensional female leads, but her lack of friendship or interaction with any of the Potter franchise’s many female characters fail the series easily.

The highest-grossing film of all time is also one of the films to have failed the test most miserably, as Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) is only able to talk to her mother about her relationship with Jake (Sam Worthington).
