Tagline: "Every Century There is a Film That Will Offend Everyone...The Last One was Holy Cow 2!...So…the Only Way Is UP!!!!"

Synopsis: The new PG-13 installment of Holy Cow has multiple story lines. The first involves Safwat Mikadesh (Kal Penn). After escaping death many times, The Devil (Simon Pegg) has had enough and sends his Minion (Gerard Butler) and the rest of Hell’s army to attack Safwat, led by the Devil’s Advocate (Nick Frost). Safwat though could care less, feeling guilty about how many he has accidentally killed. That is until he has a vision of his father, Mahal Taj Mikadesh (Ben Kingsley) and mother Tabu Mikadesh (Shilpa Shetty) saying to him that Hell is planning an attack on Earth and the only place safe on Earth is Calcutta and he must find Paul Newman there who knows how to stop Hell from taking over the world, with explosions along the way.

Storyline two is of Haley Cow (Sarah Silverman) who is famous from her heroism on the boat and is now a famous movie star. However, she got into drugs and is straight out of Rehab and the only way to secure her deal with her movie company is to be watched over by her mother, Bailey Cow (Jennifer Tilly), a has-been movie cow. Though Bailey lives in Calcutta, Haley is determined to find her mother. So, she teams up with Safwat and the go on another whirlwind adventure.

Storyline three is of Paul Newman (Paul Newman) who has made a deal with the Devil to keep on living if he helps open up the gates of hell. Newman, having the key to Hell is in a moral dilemma, knowing if he shuts the gates he may die.

With a Thelma & Louise ending (they die, right?) this is a bait not to be missed.

What the Press would say:

“Two shameful thumbs up for the third time!”-Ebert & Roeper

“Made as a joke, but turns out as a superb one, again!”- People

“A+! Sure to be the most Controversial Oscar Trilogy EVER!”-Entertainment Weekly

“Racist, hilarious, and Oscar Worthy…yet again.”-Rolling Stone Magazine

With a much different feel, Holy Cow 3(00)! Is a vast improvement from the others, with more depth into the characters lives and the demons that they face, showing how they developed. Kal Penn gives a great emotional performance in a scene where he shows the burden he has on his back. But at the same time Holy Cow 3(00)! Is as funny as ever. Jennifer Tilly takes on another role as Haley’s mom and gives a great voice performance. Ben Kingsley and Shilpa Shetty are great together and Gerard Butler is hilarious and the same for Paul Newman. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are great alongside one another too.
