Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video
Kathy Bates stars as an unhappy wife trying to get her husband's attention in this amusing and moving 1991 screen adaptation of Fannie Flagg's novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. After befriending a lonely old woman (Jessica Tandy), Bates hears the story of a lifelong friendship between two other women (Mary Stuary Masterson and Mary-Louise Parker, seen in flashback) who once ran a cafe in town against many personal odds. The tale inspires Bates to take further command over her life, and there director Jon Avnet (Up Close and Personal), in his first feature, has fun with the film. Bates develops a real attitude toward her thickheaded spouse at home and some uppity girls in a parking lot, but dignity is generally the key to Avnet's approach with the story's crucial relationships. Tandy is a joy and clearly loves the element of mystery attached to her character, and Masterson and Parker are excellent in the historical sequences. --Tom Keogh

5 out of 5 stars Fried Green Tomatoes.......2007-06-27

This is the best movie I have seen in a long time. It's story touches your heart. I recommend it to everyone who likes the real thing. You can really get into this movie!

5 out of 5 stars Best movie ever........2007-06-10

I've watched this movie over and over. It's the most entertaining I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you watch it, then read the book and watch it again.

5 out of 5 stars Simply great!.......2007-05-21

I saw this movie for the first time a few years ago and seeing it again was even more fun. Kathy Bates is great in her role and also Jessica Tandy and Mary Stuart Masterson. I loved the movie and someday I will try out those green fried tomatoes.

5 out of 5 stars Just a really good movie to watch and enjoy.......2007-04-07

The story, the emotions and the people
all feel so familiar that it makes
watching the movie a real joy.
This movie reaches in and touches
your soul and makes you smile within
and without. I do recommend that
you watch this one with family and loved
ones and share the magic of a story.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST-HAVE!.......2007-03-31

Anyone with a best friend should have this movie. All the people in Fried Green Tomatoes played their parts with great enthusiasm and with heart. Staying close to the book by Fannie Flagg it focuses on Idgie and Ruth, as well as Evelyn and Ninny, showing how friendship blossoms and stays strong through out the years. The cast is sterling - No one could have played the part other than Jessica Tandy as Ninny, an elderly lady in a nursing home that brings her humor and stories to a sad candy-consumming middle age Evelyn Couch, played brilliantly by Kathy Bates. The two strike a friendship as Ninny relates the story of Idgie Threadgood (played by Mary Stuart Masterson) and her family as well as her unique friendship with Ruth Jamison (played by Mary Louise Parker). Cicely Tyson does an excellent job as Sipsey, a woman who is a cook at the cafe in Whistle Stop. There is romance, intrigue, murder, and suspense as well subtle and explicit humor. Having this movie brings parts that weren't even in the original movie or in the first video or dvd. I am glad I waited to get the extended version and plan on sharing it with MY best friend. The setting for the story is beautiful and no one should miss watching the Bonus Material as they describe how a town they chose for the movie was almost a ghost town but they brightened it up and more people have chose to live there now. You will laugh, you will cry, but you will also understand what life is all about...friends...best friends.
