Holden thinks that the woman who cried through the movie was a phony because she was with her child who needed tending, and the woman ignored the needs of the child. Throughout the movie, the child complained about needing to use the bathroom, and the woman would not be bothered to take the child, admonishing the child to wait. I think Holden felt as though this woman couldn't possibly be a person who felt deeply, considering she was blatantly ignoring her child's needs and putting her own first. Holden found her behavior shallow and uncaring, which made the fact that she was crying throughout the movie a phony thing to do.
Annabeth's actions in Chapter 18, when she distracts Cerberus with the red ball she stole, prove that she is intelligent and quick on her feet, always preparing. These are all traits of a daughter of the goddess Athena.
