Decent acting but this winding tale about nothing in particular is a bit tedious.

What a feminist propaganda. They even reveal, that it is not a problem to kill a man and cook him as a barbecue. And the character of Idgie was not sympathetic to me, but annoying.

The only good thing in this movie is the presentation of the old southern US life.

Fannie Flagg's prized novel gets the Hollywood treatment, thanks in no small part to Flagg herself — who co-adapted her own work for the screen — and a veritable who's who of feminine acting icons.

"Fried Green Tomatoes" is a gratifying blend of Southern Gothic stylings and the winsome spirit of a woman who believed wholeheartedly in countering homophobia and misogyny with earnest will and good humor. It's honestly kind of amazing to me how much queerness Flagg managed to sneak past audiences in the late 80's and early 90's. She really was breaking ground with this work. And the structure built on that ground, whether you personally identify with the subtext or not, still makes for a tender and enjoyable stay in what feels like a community you've been a part of for a substantive amount of time.

It’s challenging to create a movie that holds true to the corresponding book. This movie succeeds in all the right ways.

Emotionally riveting, but intriguingly captivating, Fried Green Tomatoes is a thought-provoking coming of age film.

An empowering movie with a great story, I think this is a great story that you can experience many times over and over again.
