…Almost
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Welcome to my …Almost
(a.k.a. Wendy Cracked a Walnut) Page!
Here you’ll find screencaps of this romantic
comedy starring Rosanna Arquette, Bruce Spence (Ronnie) and Hugo Weaving
(Jake).
With her head in the clouds and her nose in the
covers of romantic novels, fed-up and frustrated housewife Wendy Walters is
missing some serious spice in her life!
 Her job is drab, her marriage to good-hearted but
ill-fated Jolly Lolly salesman Ronnie has lost its lustre and her big
dreams of managing a milk bar are slowly evaporating. And then Jake
happens…
When Ronnie makes a mysterious runner, Jake takes
the stage as the disarming Prince Charming Wendy’s only ever read
about! And so begins a fairytale trail of candlelit dinners, moonlit tangos
and steamy bubble baths…
But like all good Cinderella stories,
someone’s going to end up with the pumpkin! (from the VHS cover)
Not my absolute
Hugo movie favourite but still worth seeing it, even if by the second time
I’ve been forwarding to the Jake scenes directly.
Quotes:
Wendy: "I
just need to get out of these wet clothes"
Jake, smirking:
"Can I do anything?"
"Stay with
me and you can do what you want. Be what you want"
