We're passing through Whistle Stop and just had to sit down for a first-time watch of those famous FRIED GREEN TOMATOES! This story of love and loss had us screaming, sobbing, cackling and most importantly--FEELING! How do you make a perfect movie as perfect as this one? Well... the secret's in the sauce! 🤭💚🍅

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES *REACTION* FIRST TIME WATCHING!

Comments

this movie absolutely wrecks me every time. its so good.

It always bothered me how it ended and confused people. Ninny does say when she first meets Evelyn that she married Cleo, Idgie’s brother, but by the end of the film and just the way they’re acting it seems to imply something else. Book is fantastic much more clear on that fact and on her relationship with Ruth.

Just finished my first time watch too with yall!! Emotional roller coaster fun!! I loved it! It was hard for me to separate MLP's Ruth character from hers in 'Weeds'. Def should give that show a watch if you havn't seen it yet.

just watched this with my Friday night cocktail and I cried right along with you guys. love this movie.

I love the movie, I just hated some of the last-minute queer erasure: 1. No, Mrs. Threadgoode is not Idgie (and never could have been!). For one thing, Mrs. Threadgoode gave a very long monologue about her marriage and her special-needs child. 2. Evidently the first cut of the movie was more explicit about Ruth and Idgie's status as a definite couple (they are in the book) but the studio had them cut it (and also changed a significant line of Ruth's to Idgie being "the best friend she ever had," etc.). I still love it, and I think it's super-obvious Ruth and Idgie are a couple -- and have AMAZING chemistry -- so it doesn't ruin the experience for me.

I love the movie, but I 100% agree with you and hated the movie's last-minute implication there about Idgie. Not in a million years can she be Idgie. Mrs. Threadgoode is gentle, straight, talked extensively about her special-needs son, etc. The sudden "twist" convo at the end is just silly and I hated it.

Angela D. Mitchell

Loved it, thanks for sharing. I was crying too, gets me every time.❤️🏳️‍🌈

Amanda

The line "I'm too young to be old and I'm too old to be young" touched a nerve this time around 😅

Robin Beatch

I grew up watching this with my mom and we would bawl our eyes out together every time! Idgie was and still is my fucking hero. Thanks for the cry today, and I'm so glad you loved it <3

CatahoulaMom117

Austin Young

A classic! The older I get the more I relate to Kathy Bates in that parking lot.. 🤣 iykyk

Stephanie Ella

You should watch some kind of wonderful. Aweee teenage love.

I'm not sure why the movie seems to want us to think Mrs. Threadgoode is Idgy. She can't be. It doesn't make any sense. She says when she first meets Evelyn that she married Idgy's brother. And how did she get that honey in the last scene when she just came from the nursing home? I was pleased to see that Barbara Ling did the production design for this. She won an Oscar a few years ago for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Pam Nail

Back again now that I've watched the reaction. I love this movie so much and I'm so glad you loved it too. For sure, you should read the book. A few fun facts: 1) Mary Stuart Masterson did the honey collecting stunt herself with real bees because her stunt double was too afraid to do it and quit right before filming the scene. 2) In the book, Idgie and Ruth's relationship is very clear. They are a couple. But early 90's Hollywood wouldn't let the movie be that explicit, so it was implied. 3) In the book, Mrs. Threadgoode is definitely NOT Idgie. I'm not sure why they chose to change that for the film. 4) The author of the book, Fannie Flagg, appeared as one of the leaders of Evelyn's marriage class. Since you loved this movie so much, I would highly recommend Steel Magnolias if you haven't seen it already. It's so good. I always think of these movies together for some reason. Dolly Parton, Sally Field, Julia Roberts.... you can't go wrong.

Lavender Violet

Yes! I was going to comment this. In the book, the townspeople even refer to Buddy Jr as Idgie and Ruth's boy.

Lavender Violet

In the book, it's not even a question if they are in love. You should definitely read it!

Hilary

Both Mary’s were my sexual awakening 😉

LDavis

Fun fact: The Whistlestop Cafe is a real restaurant you can visit now in the exact building they filmed in. It's about 45 minutes from where I live!

Cecilia

Julian is Iggy's brother. He was at the beginning, the one that riled her up and stuck his tongue out at her.

Pam R

I haven't even started the watch, but I have been waiting with bated breath ever since you announced it. I love this movie! It's in my top movies of all time list. Let's gooooo!

Lavender Violet

TAWANDA! 📢 This movie is a 90’s classic!

Joe Smith

I'm so excited! Love love love this movie

Cecilia

Where are my tissues ? Kathy Bates 🦄

Two French Bears React
