Fried Green Tomatoes
Kathy Bates stars as an unhappy wife trying to get her husbands attention
in this amusing and moving 1991 screen adaptation of Fannie Flaggs
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 Avnets approach with the storys 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
Personal Review: Fried Green Tomatoes (Extended Anniversary
Edition) starring Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart
Masterson, Mary-Louise Parker, Cicely Tyson
Love this movie. Evelyn Couch (Bates) meets Ninny Theradgoode (Tandy)
in a nursing home that leads to an unexcepted friendship. Ninny tells her a
story of 2 women who lived half a century ago in the town of Whistle Stop.
Idgie (Masterson) and Ruth (Parker) became close friends that lasted a
lifetime. Idgie is an independent women standing up for herself and her
friend to "men" during a time when a women's place was in the home.
Evelyn is inspired to take a look at her life and make drastic changes, often
with hilarious results. It makes you take a look at your own life and search
yourself to see if you are such a friend. This story speaks of a simpler time
and the strength of the human spirit that our forebearers had and how it
still exists today!
