okay, trainspotting is definitely not a coming of age film.

All the characters in Trainspotting are extremely immature,

and it's not a coming-of-age film simply because absolutely none of them have grown any between the beginning & end of the flick.

13 is possibly the worst film since plan 9 from outer space

ps. The Great Outdoors is a sick coming of age film

Thumbsucker, Rushmore, Donnie Darko..

It may well be, but whether its more relevant to either male or female viewers is a separate issue from the film being absolutely garbage.
