From Amazon.co.uk

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

4.0 out of 5 stars minimal extension 8 Nov 2005
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Fried Green Tomatoes is a great film, most of us already know this, just as we know that the only thing it lacks is for the romantic relationship between Idgy and Ruth to be realised on screen. Do not expect this from the extended version, the only hint of mysterious deleted scenes is at the end of a special feature documentary; while the credits roll - Ruth and Idgy are lying on a blanket (during their honey excursion). I'm surprised it didn't make the cut of the extended version. However, the documentary is good and the extended scenes, in the film, add a little more depth to the emotional ties between the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the heart tale of tragedy and love 4 April 2000
By A Customer
Format:DVD
This film is a real tear gerker. From the very beinging it has you in its story telling grip! Kathy is a bored and lonely housewife trying to sprose up her marriage. On a trip to the nursing home (to see a relative) she happens upon an old woman with a story to tell. The story she tells is one which will have you grabbing for the hankies to wipe away the tears. This powerful and moving film is a classic in its own righ and you should watch it.

Fantastic. Easy to watch, great story, good acting and a twist at the end. My husband thought it was a girlie film and yet when he did watch it - he loved it too.
Lovely film to watch on a rainy afternoon huddled up on the sofa with a nice cup of tea. Enjoy.
