Flamin' Hot is a 2023 American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Eva Longoria, about a Frito Lay janitor named Richard Montañez, who came up with the idea for Flaming Hot Cheetos.
This year has definitely been the year for inspirational biopics such as Tetris, Air and Blackberry and now this latest story - Flaming Hot is captivating, funny and heart warming.
The movie tells us about Montañez's life, his determination to make something of himself, his love and support for his neighbourhood and his family and the struggles along the way he faced.
The story is fresh and enjoyable with just enough drama to pull the viewer in. The cast was well chosen and the acting was spot on.
Does the fact that the story is not entirely true takes away the enjoyment of the movie?
Not in my opinion.
Could we truly call it a Biographical movie if its based on lies?
I leave this question to you.
