Women Who Chase The Man, But Eventually Gets Dumped

Dumped, or never accepted, either or.

You don't see too many of these movies, but I was remembering "The Sterile Cuckoo", when it happens to "Pookie".. Pretty good movie, even though I'm not much a fan of Liza Minelli, but I guess she just smothered the guy, maybe was too quirky... It's usually the guy who is dumped, or just never accepted.

Good one.. I read a review by a female critic who was so upset that everyone in the audience applauded when he got on the truck!

'Identity Politics' are a total bore
That Lady critic should pull her head out of her own ass and appreciate the scene for what it was about...

There's just not a lot of movies where it's the woman chasing the guy in comparison to the opposite.

Right, that's why I asked.

I barely remember that movie, but don't remember liking it.. I wonder if its better on its 2nd viewing (as some movies tend to be, especially those directed by Cassavetes and Altman)
