Loved the ending - so unHollywood


I cant think of any movies that end like this. You hardly ever see it being done. Its always the guy ending up with the girl in every single romcom and rom drama out there. Such a bold and risque ending but so realistic. I wish more movies would end like this, dont know why Hollywood has to always have a happy cliche ending.

Love this ending, far more realistic than creeper Gary gets the girl he wanted in the end, cause it doesn’t work like that in real life. In my headcanon, Gary decided to pursue Roxanne after the credits rolled.

Is very realistic about the good guy not having the girl, happens all the time, but the film shows Karen a little too impolite and even cruel... I mean, in real life, after the guy payed for the abortion and cared for her so much, probably Karen would be very grateful and would find "softer" ways to reject Gary, probably talking with him first, or even in that last scene she would go to talk to him trying to ease things or cheered him up.

Instead is like Karen enjoyed Gary's suffering in that last shot.
