Drama
My Fault
An adaptation of the first installment of the successful literary trilogy Culpables, which author Mercedes Ron initially released on the popular Wattpad platform. My Fault follows the tumultuous forbidden relationship between Noah and his stepbrother, Nick. Like many other similar productions aimed at young audiences, this movie features unbelievable situations, tonal shifts, and dialogue as stiff as it is saccharine. Certainly beloved by fans of the original book, but perhaps best avoided by those looking for a more serious drama.
Flamin' Hot
This movie, debuting as director from actress Eva Longoria (Desperate Housewives), tells one of the most well-known stories of Latinos reaching the "American Dream": Richard Montañez, inventor of the world-famous Flamin' Hot Cheetos. As a biopic, Flamin' Hot is like the titular snack: it may have a lot of calories and little nutritional value, but it's certainly interesting and fun as a story. On the other hand, fans of success stories in business and marketing brought to the screen (like Air: The Story Behind the Logo) will definitely find something they'll like here.
