Based on the true story of how Richard Montanez went from being a hoodlum constantly in trouble with the police, to being a janitor at a snack manufacturer, to developing a new flavour of the Cheeto snack, the Flamin&#039; Hot, and ultimately becoming a director at the company. The film has many of the cliches of past films of the underdog challenging established procedures of resistant large corporations but the story to told with such style and humour that this really isn&#039;t a negative. Former Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria, in her directorial debut shows a real flare and talent in the role and a strong affection for Latino culture. The films pacing, the vibrant colours and some lovely cinematic techniques to show the passage of time were impressive.</blockquote>
