Isidor creates a shrine for the tortilla in a refrigerator and starts charging people three dollars to view it, “a dollar for the Father, a dollar for the Son, and a dollar for the Holy Ghost,” he explains.
Luckily (or unluckily) for Isidor, help arrives in the shape of Gil Garcia (Miguel Sandoval), management consultant, attorney at law, and all-'round con man. Gil is the man that can take control of the situation. Gil can show Isidor, and the other 72 residents how they can all become rich — simply “sign on the dotted line”.
Needless to say chaos ensues as the protagonists lose their family values in search of the almighty dollar.
Judy Hecht Dumontet has created a very fine movie; the camera work is very well done, and the scenery is spectacular. Miguel Sandoval is nothing short of brilliant as Gil Garcia, he is slick, and he exudes all that is bad in the world.
Tortilla Heaven has a PG-13 rating because of some very brief nudity, however I would classify this as a movie that anyone could enjoy. It opens in theaters on March 16 . There is a very well done website to accompany the movie; it has some interesting articles and also the trailer.
