Flamin' Hot (2023)
7/10
take a bit
1 July 2023
Okay, so it sounds as though the story didn't actually happen as the movie depicts, but Eva Longoria's directorial debut is still a treat. "Flamin' Hot" depicts a janitor in a Frito Lay factory who gets the idea to spice up some of the products to appeal to the Latino market in the US. Richard Montañez came from the humblest beginnings and spent part of his youth in gangs, only to create a successful product. I've never eaten the stuff - I prefer to avoid processed foods - but it looks as though it was a fun thing to do.

Jesse Garcia puts his all into the role, with support from Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert and Tony Shalhoub. Watching the movie made me feel hungry for some spicy food! Check it out.
