Sorry for my bad english. On your web site, it says that the film has french and english spoken language and french subtitles. But it's only english for spoken language, french for subtitles.
I've decide to keep it anyway, I will practice my englsh, but in the future, I will hesitate buying another film, even if it says french spoken language.

Have a nice day

Je ne veux qu'avertir que cet excellent film, dans l'édition ici présentée, ne comporte pas de piste en français, comme cela est faussement annoncé.

Il faudrait que Amazon veille à beaucoup plus de rigueur à cet égard. J'ai déjà vécu la situation inverse ou la piste française était présente pour un DVD qui affichait ne pas en disposer.

Ça me semble très très important.

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.

One of my all favourites. Initially, the DVD stopped playing at 1 hr 30 mins - no problem for Amazon. I had the option of a replacement or my money back and chose to get a replacement. Amazon emailed a return postage paid label and return coding slip and sent a replacement out immediately which I received very quickly. I even got an email letting me know they had received the one I had returned.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. One I have seen several times but the story is so engaging I wanted in my collection of favourites. Kathy Bates is great, so is Jessica Tandy.

Je n'ai pas vu le film mais j'en ai beaucoup entendu parler. Je voulais l'offrir à ma mère pour noel mais elle ne parle pas anglais alors que dans la description du produit c'est indiquer que le film est en anglais, français et espagnol ce qui n'est pas VRAI du tout !!! Je suis désolé mais je suis vraiment déçue de cet achat.

Malheureusement, Amazon a faussement décrit ce DVD en annonçant les langages (français, anglais et espagnol).
Seule la version anglaise du film y figure. J'ai du le retourner pour remboursement.

I DID GET MY PRODUCT ON TIME ,NO DAMAGE, AND IT WAS VERY WELL PACKED.THE PEOPLE FROM BUYCDNOW CANADA DID A GREAT JOB, AND I'M VERY HAPPY WITH MOVIE AND THE SERVICE.I'VE BOUGHT FEW DVDS FROM THEM, AND VERY HAPPY HAPPY WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY GET 5 STAR SERVICE.THANK YOU BUYCDNOW CANADA, GREAT JOB.

Very well acted comedy/drama about the friendship (and unspoken love) between
two young women in the 1920's southern US..

Jessica Tandy, Mary Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson are all terrific, and
the story is sweet and entertaining.

However, there's something a little dishonest in the film's resolute refusal to deal with the
homoerotic inferences (I understand the book was less coy), and a few too many times I
could feel the film's conscious intent to push my emotional buttons in the dramatic sections.

But still well worth seeing for the strong acting, and warm sense of time and place.

I bought this DVD from Amazon on a Monday and recieved it no later than on Thursday. I am very pleased with my purchase and currently watch it whenever I can :)

I like this movie. I already seen it and I really wanted to have my own copy because it is a very nice movie.
