I was pleased with the amount of time the movie was received in. The movie was in excellent condition.

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.
Excellent Film! June 23, 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.
The secret's in the sauce! June 22, 2008
One of my all time favorite movies. Even though there are parts of it that are sad, there are many uplifting moments. I'm from Alabama and I think they did a pretty good job overall of giving a glimpse into life in the Depression era South. If you don't understand the meaning of loyalty, then you need to watch this movie. There's something for everyone here! Oh yeah, the book is great to, although a little short. It even includes some recipes for those famous fried green tomatoes! YUM!!
Disappointed! June 13, 2008

I had never seen this movie and always had heard good things. I am sorry but I found it depressing and the underlying theme of two women attracted too each other was annoying. Either be truthful and up front or keep it out of the story. Totally sucked in my opinion. Sorry
