Holden thinks the women's crying in the movie is phony because he believes they are just faking their emotions to impress the men they are with or to appear more cultured. He finds their reactions insincere and artificial, reflecting his general disillusionment with societal conventions and superficiality.

Why did holden think the woman who cried through the movie was a phony?
The woman sobbing through the movie had a little girl with her that kept asking to go to the bathroom, or the like. The woman kept telling the girl to shut up and leave her alone. Holden (correctly) saw the phoniness in the woman in that her sobbing at the movie itself would give people the impression she was kind-hearted. Her dealing with the little girl, however, showed Holden that she was, in his words, "as kind-hearted as a G...D... wolf".

Sally - not unusual for a 16-year-old girl - flits from one thing to another on a moments notice, and is obviously (to the reader) fairly shallow. She does, however, show more common sense than Holden does in some things. But her shallowness alone earns her Holden's ultimate put-down: "Phony".
