Flamin’ Hot

Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, a snack we all know and love. Well, the idea sure didn’t come from a white guy! Enter Richard Montañez, a Mexican-American who wanted to provide for his family. After getting a job as a janitor at the Frito-Lay plant in southern California, he came up with an idea for types of products that would make other Latinos feel seen. Directed by Eva Longeria, this is a heartwarming tale about innovation and overcoming adversity. The “Are you in good hands” guy from Allstate (Dennis Haysbert) and Monk/Abe Weissman (Tony Shalhoub) are key players in Richard’s life. Really fun movie for the family, I won’t spoil anything but it will make you want some Cheetos!

Rating: 4/5
