Customer Reviews

One of my all time favorite movies
This film has it all what it takes to make a really great movie. It is well done, an impressive cast, deep emotions, drama, deep friendship, laughter and never in a tacky, unrealistic way. One can relate to these characters very easily. The switch between past and present works great. I was hooked from the very first moment. I share the previous reviewer's view that one can see it several times and not getting bored rather seeing different aspect of this excellent movie more clearly. This is "toowanda"... see the movie and you will understand what it means. For now 5 stars would actually not enough to give to this movie. Just see it!!! You really must!!

movie you can watch again and again
This is a womens film has all the things we woman love best love, comedy, drama what a beautiful film put together so well and has you glued to your seat at all times, one to pass onto your daughter, best friends, mother. I have watched this film at least 10 times over the 3 years i have had it, buy this film you will enjoy every moment.

Just so good
One reviewer eludes to this film as a chick flick, but in common with another reviewer I am a man and this is without doubt my favouite film (and I have seen many). Bates is quite simply masterful and the way the story weaves between past and present is a thing of beauty. The acting is totally convincing as are the accents of the deep south, and the harshness of issues such as domestic violence and racial tension are highly dramatic yet portrayed with great thought.

If you never get to see this movie you have truly missed out on something wonderful.

So stop by the Whistle Stop Cafe and enjoy a helping of Fried Green Tomatoes, you will certainly visit again and again.
