Flamin' Hot 2023

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.
