Longoria’s feature film debut tells warmhearted tale of popular snack’s origin
Actress Eva Longoria of Desperate Housewives fame made her directorial debut last year with La Guerra Civil, a thoughtful and well-told documentary about Mexican-American boxer Oscar de la Hoya. She’s now helming her first feature film, and the results are more mixed. With Flamin’ Hot, Longoria tells an inspiring rags-to-riches story that, while a bit cliched, features enough strong performances and heart to recommend it.
