fishy246 This is truly a good field they film that you were fall in love and you will not be disappointed I love that the characters I love everything about this movie I also love the relationship between the two women that shows what friendship is about and I love that the story has a really sweet story.

kevjfarrell I've watched this a few times now over the years and it never fails to entertain and delight. This is so easy on all the senses. It's what this genre of movie-making is all about. The story isn't a sweet story of southern life, it touches on some sensitive subject matters and handles them very well. Great acting performances by all the major players. It depicts the sentiments of that era and the south very well. One of the few movies you can watch more than once without feeling like you're watching a re-run, and you realize that you have forgotten parts of the story! It's not over-emotional and sickly sweet and it's a lot more than a chick-flick. A great story well told, and well acted. This is a movie for guys too!!! If you haven't seen it, then you are missing out on a treat!

SnoopyStyle Timid housewife Evelyn Couch (Kathy Bates) befriends old Ninny Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy) at a retirement home. She recounts an old depression era story of Idgie Threadgoode (Mary Stuart Masterson) and her friendship with Ruth Jamison (Mary-Louise Parker). Their lives are forever linked by the death of Idgie's brother who was Ruth's boyfriend.This is based on a novel that takes place in Alabama. The modern story doesn't have quite the punch. The old time story exceeds it in almost every way. It may have been an important part of the novel, but I don't know if the modern story necessarily adds anything to the movie. Both Marys are outstanding in their roles. Their characters are truly the center of this movie.

Wadejohnson1970 As a young man growing up in the Country of my home town of Hawkinsville Pulaski County Georgia, I had saw the movie in rental stores, however I was just never quite interested in watching a movie called Fried Green Tomatoes!!! However one night while watching TV with my family I was flicking through the Chanel's and came upon this very net resting movie that just so,happens to be..yes you guessed it...Fried Green Tomatoes!!! Well right here in the middle of my review I get a knock on my door, some guy tells me that he had just hit a little black dog out in front of my home, we live on a dirt road and people drive on it as if it were a damn Interstate Highway!!!! Sure enough it is my late fathers dog Buster!!! One of the last things my Daddy said was son look out for my dog!!! Now I feel really bad!!! He is not dead yet, he has his wits about him, just a bit loopy, but catching one of those full size Chevy Silverado's ain't good for a 4 pound dog!!! Anyway please pray for Buster!!!! Now back to the Movie review... As I began to watch this movie I just got more and more intertwined into the story!!! I couldn't tell who was more intrigued by Iggies story, me or Evelyne Couch. The story about Frank Bennett was so interesting!!! Heck there wasn't anything about the entire movie that Wasn't interesting!!!! The most interesting part of the entire movie was the fact that Frank Bennett's body was never found!!! And even more the reason WHY IT EAS NEVER FOUND!!!! Big George Put him on the grill and made BBQ out of him and they fed him to the guy from Georgia that was so stern to Iggies that he WAS THE LAW!!!! And you can't beat the law!!!! So to sum it up in a few words!!!! Fried Green Tomatoes is by far one of the best movies I ever saw, most important I. Was working with Georgia Power and happened upon this little Cafe out in Julliett Ga. And before I knew it I was sitting right in the middle of where one of my favorite movies was made..The Whistle Stop Cafe!!!!! You can't imagine my excitement and couldn't wait to tell my wife that I had sat and eat right there where the story played out!!! Now I'm gonna take my wife there to have some of those world famous FRIED GREEN TOMATOES!!!! And if you never watched this MASTERPIECE PLEASE DO!!!
