- [New] | Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Flamin’ Hot works on a certain level if it meant to be crowd-pleasing. It does not, however, work if you find its efforts too hard (to believe).
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: a serviceable fairy tale as corny as a Frito, a television movie featuring a couple of lovely supporting performances that is the cinematic equivalent of the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos which drive it.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Rather than being smart and incisive, it packages a true story in a traditional, predictable formula.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Because while it may not be particularly memorable or unique, FLAMIN’ HOT makes good on its promise to bring a lesser known rags to riches tale of Latino exceptionalism to the masses in a self-deprecatingly comedic fashion.
- Ed Travis @ Cinapse
- Excerpt: In Flamin’ Hot, Longoria crafts an upbeat, encouraging, humorous, and fairy-tale-esque version of the true life story of Richard Montañez, a janitor-turned-executive at Frito Lay whose incredible story was ripe for feature film adaptation.
