Tagline: “Every Year There is a Film That Will Offend Everyone. This is the second…, Code Name: The Cleaner was the first.”

Synopsis: Former Indian train conductor, Safwat Mikadesh (Kal Penn) gets the news his father, Mahal Taj Mikadesh (Ben Kingsley) has died so Safwat decides he must move on with his life. He becomes a captain of a luxury cruise ship known as, Poseidon’s-Titanic-Unsinkable-Ship-That-is-So-Unsinkable-There-Are-No-Life-Boats.

On the ship’s maiden voyage there is the band, interracial lovers Zachary Dortch (Keenan Thompson) and Anne Reddington (Jennifer Tilly) who want to bring racial awareness through song but seem to have racist lyrics, also SANJAY MALAKAR (Sanjaya Malakar), There is the former Mayor of New York/Firefighter/Police Office/Doctor Peter Worth (Tommy Lee Jones) and his daughter Rita (Camilla Belle) who is going to secretly marry her boyfriend Kyle Malldud (Jamie Bell) because she is secretly 8 months pregnant with his baby. There is also stowaway Shawnie Chatwin (Vanessa Verlito), health nut Jenny Craiger (Cheryl Hines), Ruteger the IV of Kakawuit (Eddie Murphy) who may be faking his presence to get a free ride, and his bodyguard Tom (Dane Cook). Also to round out this colorful bunch of characters, an elderly Jewish couple Esther and Joseph Horowitz (Doris Roberts and Mel Brooks), Pennsylvanian transvestite Dan Yates (Tim Curry), salad-dressing maker who is out to find a new flavor Paul Newman (Paul Newman), Judge Alex Owens (Will Ferrell) who is honeymooning with his wife ( ) that no one can see, and pornographic author Jane Saunders (Diane Lane) searching for muses to give her ideas, not to mention the temptress, Cammy Souling (Aisha Tyler).

When cruising at full speed Safwat sees a boat of cows, and who else is on it then Haley Cow (voiced by Sarah Silverman)! Paul Newman says he sold the cows to be made into hamburgers. Safwat now turns the boat around to save Haley and her entourage, Allie and Mallory Cow (voiced by Wanda Sykes and Rita Wilson). The cows jump on the ship and survive but accidentally the cruise ship crashes into the boat so the ship capsizes.

Now, the cows, Safwat and the passengers (well the surviving ones) must find a way to the top, or bottom, or, well you get the point….and use their variation of talents to survive. Also a killer shark nearby poses a threat to all of them, the crew wanting to kill it, but Safwat thinks the shark is his father’s reincarnation.

What the press would say:

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

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

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

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

“Meh.”-Simon Cowell

With even more hilarious writers and cast Holy Cow 2! is terrific. It uses the same formula as Holy Cow! but with all new jokes, characters, and plot it seems new all over again. We see why we love the first one so much and after months of waiting we get more then we even hoped for. The cast is fantastic with memorable performances by everyone. This review is loosely based on a review loosely based on a movie loosely based on an (I promise you) true story.
