Rating: Summary: a movie worth owning! Review: I just love movies where you get to hear the characters tell stories. Especially, hearing Ninny Threadgoode tell one! Jessica Tandy will bring warmth to your heart and laughter to your soul, as she carries you (and Kathy Bates) away with her delightful storytelling. Idgy Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison portray the naughty and good sides of people living back in the 30s. You can't help but love Idgie's spunky/dogmatic character, while holding a protective/motherly love for the gentle, sweet Ruth. These two have the time of their lives together and show true devotion in friendship. Be enveloped into the scenes as Ninny tells them, keep those tissues at hand and have your own copy, because you won't watch it only once!
Rating: Summary: Great Proformances Review: This is a wonderful film for anyone who loves Kathy Bates. Forget "Titanic" and "Misery"; this is truly her best film. If you forget about the "secret sauce," this is a jewel of a movie.
Rating: Summary: The Acting Is Terrific Review: I think this is a wonderful movie. Jessica Tandy's acting got better with age. Kathy Bates is such a versatile actress. Her performance in this movie is outstanding. A movie to be watched over and over again.
Rating: Summary: I loved it! Review: I have seen this movie so many times and each time I love it even more. I've read the book and it matched with the movie so well. I loved the characters and the actors. Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson and the rest did such a wonderful job! I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching this wonderfully done movie.
Rating: Summary: It was old fashioned, sad yet heartwarming, I loved it.. Review: I saw this movie for the first time several years ago.....I loved it every bit as much recently as I did 6 years ago...I really do wish that there were more movies out there that can capture your heart the way this one did... Very well done Dee
Rating: Summary: Director Avnet gets a C-minus for ignoring lesbian subtext Review: Fanny Flagg's novel, though intentionally or nor,portrayed a lesbian subtext relationship between Idgy and Ruth. Even though these heroines were never found between the sheets they definately had a romantic relationship. The book does a much better job at looking at this dynamic; two women who are devoted to each other beyond any other relationship. When, in the movie, the story hints at Ninny really being an older Idgy I was extremely disappointed. In the novel, Ninny is Idgy's sister-in-law; once being married to the eldest Threadgoode boy. They movie, however, does stand on its own as a good movie. However, I don't suggest reading the book first.
Rating: Summary: Beautiful story about beautiful people. Review: This movie is typecast as a chick flick. I however feel that a lot of men will actually love this movie if they open up to it. It will leave you all warm and fuzzy inside. Mary Stuart Masterson and Jessica Tandy are playing the roles of their lives.
Rating: Summary: Finally! The Collector's Edition with extra footage! Review: It's about time that the studio put out this movie in it's extended version. There are several scenes that help to flesh out the friendship between Evelyn and Ninny, and bring the movie to a much more completeness, that were not seen in the theater-released version.
Rating: Summary: A Chick Flick For Guys Too Review: This movie should be a must-see on everyone's list. Why? Watch it and you'll find the answer.
Rating: Summary: There's nothing like friends Review: I read the book first. This is the first time ever that I actually thought the movie was BETTER than the book. I'll watch it again and again. Was the secret really in the sauce, or was it just another tall tale????
