Another main difference between the series and movie is the amount of detail in portraying the Quintanilla family's initial economic hardships. The series makes the point to depict this element of their life as transparently as possible, such as when the family lost their home and restaurant. As the family considers moving into a warehouse-like shelter, stands in line for food stamps and even goes dumpster diving, it is clear that the Quintanillas went through extremely tough situations in their early days. This aspect of their life is not nearly as clear in the original film.
