Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)

The Best Movie Ever, September 17, 2000
Reviewer: Sherry Dawn Grace (see more about me) from Houston, Texas
Fried Green Tomatoes was the best movie ever made. It tells two storys of two different people at the same time. Kathy Bates who plays the role of Evelin Couch meets an old lady named Ninny at the nursing home while going to see her husbands Aunt. Well the two become good friends and Ninny Thredgood, who is played by Jessica Tandy, starts to tell the story of two friends who lived in the 1920's and 30's. It is the story of Idgy and Ruth. The two were the best of friends who shared an exciting life together. They shared the pain and passion of each other and were there to protect one another when things were going wrong. They went through murder trials, spousal abuse, and they shared the death of people they loved. Though they had many hard times, they also had a lot of fun together. They got drunk, played poker, played baseball, and many more things. So if your the type of person who loves heart felt storys that touch the heart I recommened you to watch this movie. --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.
