rating: 3 QuoteThis DVD is NOT the Original Theatrical Release of the FilmQuote
I loved "Fried Green Tomatoes" at the theater and the old VHS video version (which is the only version on which you can see the original theatrical release), but unfortunately, both DVD versions insert extra scenes which ruin some of the seemless transitions between flashbacks and present-time which were the hallmark of "Fried Green Tomatoes". The extra scenes aren't even particularly good, and this DVD provides no original version without them. This criticism is true for both the Widescreen Collector's Edition and the Anniversary Edition. I'm deeply disappointed, and hoping Universal will one day release the original theatrical version of the film on DVD. What a shame it would be for the theatrical version of "Fried Green Tomatoes" to one day disappear. July 5, 2008

I won't go into a synopsis on the film as that is done in other reviews. But I just have to say that is one of my favorite films. It is about true friendships, loyalty, and empowerment. There are some sad moments in the film, but overall it is very uplifting. I have seen it numerous times and never get tired of it.

I recently visited Juliette, GA where the film was actually shot, which prompted me to watch the movie again when I got home. The town still looks pretty much like it did in the movie, including the Whistle Stop Cafe! You can eat at the cafe, and some of the other buildings in the town have been turned into gift shops now. If you are a fan of this film and ever in Georgia, stopping there is a must. June 23, 2008
