The highly anticipated biopic based on the life of Richard Montañez, the inventor of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, has finally hit the big screen. The movie, directed by Eva Longoria, tells the story of Montañez's journey from being a janitor at Frito-Lay to becoming a vice president at PepsiCo.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, DeVon Franklin, the producer of the movie, confirmed that there were no updates made to address the controversy surrounding Montañez's claim to have invented Flamin' Hot Cheetos. This controversy was sparked by a report from The Los Angeles Times in 2021, which alleged that Montañez did not actually invent the product.

Despite this controversy, Longoria has been praised for her direction of the movie. Jesse Garcia, who plays Montañez in the film, described Longoria as being 'very specific on the story she wanted to tell' and 'very passionate about telling Richard's story.' Annie Gonzalez, who plays Montañez's wife Judy, added that Longoria is 'an executer through and through,' citing her philanthropic work and past productions.

The movie has also been praised for its portrayal of Montañez's journey. Garcia described Montañez as a 'heroic' figure who 'does everything to totality, and he does it amazingly.' The movie's stars have also spoken highly of Longoria, with Jesse Metcalfe, who dropped by the premiere dressed in a suit and tie, calling her a 'brilliant' director.

The Desperate Housewives movie is more than just a biopic about Richard Montañez - it's also a celebration of the power of storytelling. As Longoria herself said at the premiere, she used Desperate Housewives as her film school, learning everything she knows from that experience.

Overall, the Desperate Housewives movie is a must-see for anyone interested in the story of Richard Montañez and his incredible journey to success. With its inspiring true story and talented cast, this movie is sure to captivate audiences everywhere.
