* ''[[The Truth About Cats and Dogs]]'' ends with a rare example of the female lead grovelling to her male [[Love Interest]].
* In ''[[Never Been Kissed]]'', Josie poses as a high school student and falls in love with her teacher Sam. When it's revealed that she's actually a 25-year-old investigative reporter, she prints an apology in her paper and tells him to meet her at the baseball stadium if she accepts. Then she waits there with the whole town watching to see if she'll be accepted or rejected.
* In ''[[Ten10 Things I Hate About You]]'', after getting Kat so royally pissed off at him that she won't speak to him, Patrick is instructed to "sacrifice yourself on the altar of dignity and even the score." Patrick opts for a marching-band-assisted rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" in the middle of her soccer practice which nets him detention. However, she forgives him and helps him get out of detention.
* The [[Will Smith]] vehicle ''[[Hitch]]'' has a particularly [[Egregious]] example, following his love interest flipping her lid and publically breaking up with him due to [[You Know What You Did|completely false information]] supplied by a [[Smug Snake]] whose reputation she was well aware of. After refusing to take her back after she later comes by to apologise, the climax becomes him chasing the woman to apologise for not accepting her apology.
* In ''[[The Blues Brothers]]'', Jake Blues delivers one of these (in the form of a [[Hurricane of Excuses]]) to the fiance he left at the altar. She forgives him and they kiss passionately - only for him to then drop her in the mud and run off again.
