Flamin' Hot Review
‘Flamin’ Hot’ tells an inspiring, entertaining and (mostly) true story of grit and chips. Eva Longoria makes her narrative feature directing debut with the tale of Frito-Lay worker Richard Montañez.
The movie tells the story of Montañez (Jessie Garcia), who was born in an East Los Angeles barrio community to Mexican-American parents in the late 1950s. He was gifted with a smart mind, an ambitious soul, and a dream for a better life. He dropped out of school in his mid-teens –– one of his greatest regrets –– only to discover that without a high school diploma or college education, the only jobs he could get were window washers and gas station attendants. This was not what he wanted for himself or his future.
