My unofficial 2014 summer movie preview continues today with a look at a handful of films I consider to be among the most explicitly female-targeted of the summer. Yes, it's unfortunate that the conventional summer movie season is so male-centric that films aimed at 50% of the population counts as a sub-genre. Yes it is true that plenty of females will flock to Transformers: Age of Extinction for the same reasons males will while any number of men may-well flock to Maleficent for the same reasons the females do. Yes a few of these arguably constitute playing into certain stereotypes in terms of what kind of films theoretically target women. And no, Angelina Jolie's Maleficent won't be on this list because I covered it last time. Now, with all of those disclaimers out of the way, here are six films that will most likely pass the Bechdel Test.
