Flamin’ Hot

This is the rags-to-riches story of Richard Montañez, son of a Mexican immigrant who while working as a janitor at Frito-Lay & had an idea. This wonderful comedy/drama, directed by Eva Longoria, focuses on how a man with limited education & from a poor minority background can persevere & succeed with his curiosity & an innovative ideas, even when the odds are stacked against him. This a great true story family film about an innovative man & his supportive family. This film about the creation of a spicy treat is heavily flavored in Mexican culture to expand people’s horizons. Dennis Haysbert & Tony Shalhoub are among the supporting cast.

Alien gives it 3½ “3, 2, 1… breathe” stars out of 4.
