Los Angeles, CA September 25, 2024 –(PR.com)– Starring Jay Mohr, Danny Trejo, Felipe Esparza, Luis Guzman, Gabriela Vergara, Gary Busey, Catherine Bach, Alicia Machado, Juju Brener, Tony Plana, Emilio Rivera and Aries Spears.

The wait is finally over. Famed comedian and actor Paul Rodriguez steps into the director’s chair for the highly anticipated comedy film Holy Cash, which hits select theaters on October 11.

With an all-star cast, hilarious humor, and a clever commentary on deceit and morality, Holy Cash promises to provide hilarity while exploring the lengths people will go to in order to become famous, rich, and redeemed.

The film is anchored by an all-star ensemble of A-list actors, including Jay Mohr (Jerry Maguire), Danny Trejo (Machete), Aries Spears (Mad TV), Felipe Esparza (Translate This), Luis Guzman (Boogie Nights) and Gabriela Vergara (La Mujer de Judas). This cast is rounded out by iconic talents such as Gary Busey (Lethal Weapon), Catherine Bach (The Dukes of Hazzard), Alicia Machado (former Miss Universe) and rising star Juju Brener (Vanquish).

The story:

Comedy Meets Crime with a touch of morality Holy Cash follows the mischievous Pablo (played by director Paul Rodriguez), a seasoned con man desperate for a new job. After running out of tricks, he teams up with his fast-talking friend “Guero” (Jay Mohr) to try their luck at the ultimate scam: religion.

They soon cross paths with “Willy Dollars” (Aries Spears), an ex-con turned self-proclaimed preacher turned mega-televangelist. Together, the trio creates an over-the-top religious show that catapults them to fame and fortune. But their success comes at a price. When a dangerous mob boss named “Chato” (Danny Trejo) contacts Pablo with an unusual demand—to save his ailing daughter, played by Juju Brener—Pablo is faced with a moral reckoning.

Chato gives him an ultimatum: cure her or face deadly consequences. What begins as a sham for money and fame quickly turns into a life-or-death challenge as Pablo finds himself caught in a whirlwind of lies, beliefs and mafia demands.

As Pablo and Guero find themselves plunged deeper into the dangerous world of Chato and his henchmen, they also come face to face with their own consciences. Can Pablo perform a miracle, or will he be forced to face the consequences of his fraudulent practices?

All-star cast takes comedy to the next level

With such a dynamic cast, Holy Cash is set to keep audiences laughing from start to finish. Danny Trejo, beloved for his tough-guy roles in films like Machete and Desperado, stars as the menacing yet strangely vulnerable mob boss, Chato. His intense performance brings a gripping mix of comedy and suspense to the film, especially as he reveals a softer side in his desperation to save his daughter. Jay Mohr brings his signature humor and comedic timing to the role of Guero, Pablo’s scheming yet loyal friend.

Their on-screen chemistry is electric, creating a buddy dynamic that draws the audience into their antics and misadventures. Veterans Gary Busey and Luis Guzman add even more depth to the comedy ensemble, both playing key characters in Pablo’s absurd journey to pseudo-spiritual success.

Aries Spears, known for his hilarious impersonations on Mad TV, delivers a standout performance as the smooth-talking preacher Willy Dollars. His transition from ex-con to charismatic televangelist perfectly captures the ridiculousness and charm that Holy Cash revels in.

A comic tale of redemption and consequence

Along with the laughs, Holy Cash offers a humorous yet reflective look at moral dilemmas. Pablo’s journey from con man to reluctant savior explores themes of redemption, accountability, and the consequences of deception. The film’s humor balances clever satire with absurdity, especially as Pablo is forced
to fulfill Chato’s demand to save his daughter, whether he is able to do so or not.

Rodriguez masterfully weaves these elements into a film that resonates with today’s world, where fame and success often come at the expense of integrity. With witty dialogue, outrageous situations and a lot of heart, Holy Cash ensures that audiences leave the theater with more than just belly laughs.

Paul Rodriguez, an iconic figure in the world of stand-up comedy, steps behind the camera in a key directorial role for Holy Cash.

His direction and performance as Pablo breathe life into the film’s quirky and comedic story. Rodriguez expressed his excitement about his directorial debut, saying, “This film isn’t just about making people laugh, although that’s a big part of it, but it’s also about showing the lengths people will go to pursue their dreams, even when those dreams are based on deception.
