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

Fried Green Tomatoes DVD
Fried Green Tomatoes is based on the novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Even though the movie would have you believe that it takes place in Alabama, it was shot in Julliette, Georgia, a little north of Macon, and they still serve fried green tomatoes. Y'all come and eat you some, they're delicious..
Jessica Tandy is simply superb as a resident of a nursing-home, reliving her life to a an unhappy housewife who is a happenstance visitor.
Highly recommended for any one who has friends or family in a nursing home and fans of Jessica Tandy.
Cicely Tyson has about five seconds of time in the movie. I don't know why they bothered. You can ignore all that racial scatalogical matter, that's just Hollywood.

A movie for everyone March 21, 2008
Excellent story protrayed by a cast of fine actors. The story line was
touching, delivered with humor and tenderness. There is a lesson to be learned as the story unfolds, showing undying friendship, hardship, tragedy, and love. "Fried Green Tomatoes" is an unforgettable story leaving the audience wanting more.
