Flamin' Hot Reviews

I loved this film, I’ll be reading “A Boy, a Burrito, and a Cookie: From Janitor to Executive,” very soon. This movie made me cry, I love that Richard overcame everything and won in the end. What a story! I’ll forever buy hot Cheetos for as long as they exist.

0/10

movie would be enjoyable if i DIDN’T know that this whole movie is LIES😂 the real life Richard DID NOT create ‘FLAMIN HOT CHEETOS’ & yet Hollywood keeps feeding into his BS story making him RICHER & RICHER 🤦🏽‍♂️

really really good

3.1 - rarely have I felt so disrespected by a movie. Beyond the fact that it’s a falsified story that Montanez has built an entire 2nd career off, the movie itself half acknowledges it & does nothing to right the wrongs. Plus it’s too long & not as family friendly as advertised.

this was literally so beautiful and sweet and so perfect. i can’t even say anything else about sweet and perfect

Muy chingon! Eva did a great job making the movie flow. Keeping things light & entertaining. She did a great job with the whole story with knowing when the scene had to be serious & when it could have some fun. Some facts were not accurate…regardless it was enjoyable to watch.

I was surprised how much I ended up loving this. So fun and full of heart! Worth a watch!!!

As a fellow Mexican, 10/10

Loved it! Excellent movie for those who doubt themselves to be encouraged and inspired!

Pretty good tbh, funny

it was so sweet and it made me cry from how proud i was

i was actually kinda enjoying this until i realized it was a lie😭

Inspiring story about perseverance

This was such a great movie. I love origin story movies especially family oriented ones.

Great representation of Mexican life

Absolutely loved this movie. Definitely worth a watch. I loved how it represented Mexican culture.

3/5⭐️

An inspiring movie… up to a point. Some parts felt pretty exaggerated. Like many American films centered on Mexican families, it leans heavily into the stereotypical “Mexican cholo” image, which gets a little distracting. After watching it, I decided to look into Richard Montañez’s story myself, and I was surprised to learn that he wasn’t actually the original creator of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, nor did he work as a janitor at Frito-Lay. Knowing that made me see the movie a bit differently.

Just proves still again that if you really think you could do something, just believe in the things and work for it even if it takes time. Good watch and funny

Rags to riches tale with a gangster twist.

The type of thing that brings tears to your eyes 10/10
