The Fluffy Movie

The majority of the film is Iglesias performing his act in San Jose. The beginning of the film serves as a flashback depicting how his parents met and his early youth. One scene shows an 11-year-old Iglesias (portrayed by Julio César Chávez Jr.) getting permission from his mother to see the R-rated stand-up comedy film Raw starring Eddie Murphy, which inspired him to become a comedian himself.

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave a positive review of the film, remarking that Iglesias "delivers a solid set of often highly personal material that’s consistently amusing even if it never quite hits the level of hilarity". He further noted that Iglesias "is a likeable presence, and his fluid delivery, complete with spot-on accents and sound effects, is consistently engaging."{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/fluffy-movie-film-review-721234|title='The Fluffy Movie': Film Review|last=Scheck|first=Frank|work=The Hollywood Reporter|date=2014-07-25|access-date=2014-07-25}} Conversely, Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a C and said, "While Iglesias is perfectly competent as a comedian, he lacks the ability to really wrap his arms around his own personal narrative."{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/2014/08/07/fluffy-movie/|title=The Fluffy Movie|last=Anderson|first=Kyle|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=2014-07-25|access-date=2014-07-25}} Mark Jenkins of The Washington Post gave the film two-and-a-half stars, writing that the film's "principal weakness is that it’s not much of a movie".
