Touching and funny study of a friendship, July 28, 2011
This review is from: FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (ANNIVERSARY EDI (DVD)
Very well acted comedy/drama about the friendship (and unspoken love) between
two young women in the 1920's south.
Jessica Tandy, Mary Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson are all terrific, and
the story is sweet and entertaining.
There's something a little dishonest in the film's resolute refusal to deal with the
homoerotic inferences, and a few too many times I could feel the film's conscious intent to
push my emotional buttons in the dramatic sections.
But still well worth seeing for the strong acting, and warm sense of time and place.

Towanda! Towanda!, June 26, 2010
This review is from: FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (ANNIVERSARY EDI (DVD)
The people in this movie show a lot of concern, also a great family movie after a hard days work! The distant love between Eggie and Ruth became very close,and so did her hired hands! Smokie a bomb off the streets Eggie showed him some love and concern and didn't look at the habit the grown on him, and as for Frank Bennet, I feel he got what he really desreve! I often wonder if they really made babaque from Frank Bennet's remains? (body) Sippes and Big Geroge also was a great part of the show! I rate the show 4 stars! If you have not watched the show please do so! What a laugh! Towanda! Towanda! Jessica Lange Was a Great storyleller, You would feel that you was right there! Enjoy the laughs!
