The music is atrocious, I hate Kathy Bates, and it was very cheesy and cliched. This could have been a decent film (I don't even like the novel it's based on), but certain scenes render this film unwatchable. They even managed to make the KKK look competly unfrightening.

The acting is great, and pretty much the main reason to watch this movie. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, I get why this film made so much money. Despite Hollywood's love of bromances, films about feminine friendships (also Lesbians!) has been generally under-served. FGT is awfully clichéd in the feel-good Hollywood movie kind of way, but that didn't bother me that much, because in this case it doesn't feel like just another cynical Hollywood money grab; through all the cheesy, saccharine moments there is an actual heart and soul that shines through,
