Marja Loved it! Such a heartfelt and inspiring movies. Annie Gonzalez was amazing Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Rick L I thoroughly enjoyed Flamin' Hot. We got to see a side of Latino culture not usually depicted and how it burst onto the American food scene, altering both forever. It was uplifting and thought provoking and definitely worth the time and money. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/23 Full Review Cameron H “Flamin’ Hot” tells the supposed true story of Richard Montañez, who claimed to invent Flaming Hot Cheetos while working as a janitor at a Frito-Lay factory in the 1980s. Despite Richard Montañez’s claims to being the one who invented Flaming Hot Cheetos being disputed, “Flamin’ Hot” is nevertheless still a highly entertaining, funny, and inspiring family-friendly movie. I thought the performances were excellent, especially from Jesse Garcia and Dennis Haysbert. It provides a great exploration into the importance of culture and heritage, and an uplifting, feel-good underdog story about pursuing your goals and dreams with passion, enthusiasm, and perseverance; and not giving up, even when others don’t take you seriously. There’s the right amount of comedy to keep kids entertained, as well as moments filled with emotion. Whether or not this film actually tells the truth, it’s still a great movie I recommend watching for a fun family movie night. Based on: “A Boy, a Burrito and a Cookie: From Janitor to Executive,” by Richard Montañez Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Dan N Very quirky, fun, feel-good movie with inspirational context Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review umakanth r Flamin' Hot is an incredibly inspiring film that every young person should watch! It beautifully tells the story of how a man with passion, perseverance, and the right support system—especially from his wife—can create something groundbreaking. This movie proves that success isn’t just about degrees; it’s about hard work, vision, and resilience. Watching Richard Montañez fight not just for his dream but also for his family and coworkers, ultimately saving jobs and transforming the company, is truly uplifting. It’s a must-watch for anyone chasing their dreams, no matter where they start. #FlaminHot #InspiringStory #HardWorkPaysOff #DreamBig #NoDegreeRequired #SuccessStory #NeverGiveUp #Motivation #FamilySupport #EntrepreneurMindset #MustWatch #MovieReview #RottenTomatoes Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Paul G A really enjoyable family film, its a true story which makes it even more enjoyable.
