I thought it was a decent fun underdog movie. I googled him of course after and learned he didn't actually have anything to do with creating Flamin Hot and this was all fake and lies. Why even try to come off like this and create a whole movie? Weird world we live in.

Felt like a drama production in almost all areas.

It really was just a plain fun Netflix type of movie, do not except much not even accuracy as i've read the whole story and how inaccurate it is but it is entertaining and funny.

Well as I've seen others done I'll congratulate Eva Longoria for being more than just a pretty face in front of the camera. She did a solid job directing this behind it as well. This is an entertaining narrative about one of our modern Urban Legends. The Janitor who created Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

It's a good movie you feel for Richard and you cheer him on every step as he makes decisions that work for him. Annie Gonzalez's Judy wasn't bad. Kinda empty mostly except when she had to support Jesse Garcia's Richard. There is where she really shined. I think they have pretty good chemistry together. I'd totally watch her in more things.

This is a funny movie, actually very enjoyable to watch however, I have to give a low rating because it's a lie that has been debunked for sometime now — it needs to be listed as fiction.

Do yourself a favor and watch this film.

Like every year, Diane Warren makes sure that, as an Oscar completionist, you have to watch a movie that you might otherwise not have had on your watchlist. I really don't know why the Academy likes her so much, especially since she never wins anyway. The songs are hardly ever a big standout. Be that as it may, at least 'Flamin' Hot' is not a total disaster like the last Oscar films with songs by Warren. To be honest, the movie is actually entertaining to some extent, even if it lacks a bit of depth. As a so-called 'true story', the movie is absolutely useless, but the message of the feel-good plot is definitely pretty clear. However, in the end, it's not much more than that.

As for the Oscar-nominated song 'The Fire Inside', I can only say that I find it quite generic. And besides, I just don't like it when songs are nominated that are only featured in the credits of the movie. Because in that case, the impact on the mood of the film is nonexistent.

The movie plays with the truth apparently but regardless, it's still entertaining.

In an era of biopics, this one will get lost in the shuffle. It has good moments and is generally solid, it just does little to stand above the rest.

Rating: 3/5 - 75% - Worth Watching

It was a fun movie, regardless if it was pure fiction or not.

The comedic style production kept the story interesting throughout, though some of the jokes fell flat imo. I don't know if I'd bother rewatching it but it was entertaining and is worth a watch if you are a fan of the Flamin Hot snacks.

After looking into whether or not this story is true, it seems complicated and even the film altered portions of Richard's story ([spoiler]in the film he uses rejected snacks to test on, but he apparently claimed a machine broke one time which is how he acquired unflavored snacks[/spoiler]). There seems to be portions that neither agree on, so of course just take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

Diane Warren needs to be stopped.

Every time she writes a new song for a generic or crappy movie, it fucking gets nominated at the Oscars!
