This movie is bad, and I am pretty sure this was intentional. It clearly makes fun of itself and adds a lot of dumb jokes and weird scenes for no purpose. To impress the teenagers also a bunch of bare breasts got added. Probably director John Gulager was so distracted by this human meat show, that he completely forgot to insert a plot of any kind. But does this really matter at this point? I don't think so. Switch your brain off, lean back, stare at the naked bodies, ignore the nonsense lines and get wasted while the movie progresses. The remake was bad already and anybody who expected a sequel to this would do the franchise any good must be out of his mind... or distracted by... you know the drill!

I'll start by reiterating that Piranha 3DD is complete trash and not worth the price of admission or a waste of a free ticket, but having said that I must say that if you catch this on TV one night or get a copy from somewhere, this piece of schlock is a hoot.The whole premise of the movie, if you can look past the bad science and implausible plot lines, is that the piranhas have moved from Lake Victoria via subterranean rivers and set their sites on a water theme park. What sets this park aside from any others I've ever been to is the adult area, complete with the total nudity, droves of splash-happy double-D women and underwater cams. As well as the horny pool boy who likes to have sex with the underwater wall jets.Just as Richard Dreyfuss was the throwaway token star in the first Piranha remake, we now have Gary Busey, who really just seems to be playing himself. He and a friend wade out into a lake to retrieve a dead cow and it appears that the body is infested with piranha eggs and newly hatched piranha. After they are dispatched, the ravenous prehistoric fish kill a young couple after their van rolls into the lake. A few more random incidents occur and after a small piranha swims up inside a girl while skinny-dipping and then, ahem, latches itself onto a guy during sex, which results in him cutting the fish off by slicing off part of himself. (I'm not sure why he didn't just stab the fish so it lets go, but as I said earlier, it's complete trash and everyone is meant to be completely stupid). It's now apparent that the piranha are on the move again.A quick visit to Christopher Lloyd, who's now a YouTube sensation, and the gang are on the look out for piranha getting into the pipes. As usual the owner is having none of it and thanks to a crooked cop, any thought of shutting the park down is dismissed, so of course all hell breaks loose and fun slides run red as human is back on the piranha menu.David Hasselhoff is the guest celebrity, playing himself, playing his character from Bay Watch who is there to help open the park. He's basically made for this type of film as he's no actor, and as a comic relief is perfect for the tone of this flick.Ving Rhames also makes a comeback in this, now as a wheelchair bound aquaphobic. However when people start being eaten all around him, a pair of detachable titanium legs, complete with shotgun attachment, helps him overcome his fear in the best way possible.Really this is a junk film that turns out to be a lot of fun, which is pretty much like every other piranha film ever. The only difference in this is that there's a hell of a lot more nudity and more ridiculous, unrealistic death scenes than you can poke a severed penis at. Lots of half naked buxom women covered in fake blood running around mindlessly for the sheer sake of running around and the ending leaves us with the notion that this piranha franchise is going nowhere fast. I gave it a 5 as this did at least give me a few good laughs.

at the top you will see a caption that says goofs. and there is like only 2 or 3 captions this whole movie was a goof. and whoever made this movie was a goof and owes me my rental money back....and if you say this movie is great you are a goof.......I mean the first one in the series was bad enough...even Hasslehoff kept making references throughout the whole film like' if this film gets out i'm ruined thats pretty bad even when he thinks its a goof ;dont be a goof and like this film because it looks like it costed 75 cents to make it....this wont even make a cult classic in years to come .it is films like this that ruin actors such as Ving Rhames he must have been hard up for money ..if i were these actors I would try and buy up every copy to save myself the embarrassment

First off, I didn't think the first one was great either (but 3 1/2 stars, sure.) but this one's got nothing on #1's plot. The tension, and I guess a scare or two, but there is no ending set piece complete the film. The first one had the kids stranded and whats-her-name trapped in the boat. This film has none of that. The filmmakers understand the b-style, but when your monsters stay under the water for the most part, your people should be stuck in the water! The climax should have had someone trapped- like maybe on one of those water park lifeguard islands, like the ones in the middle of the pool, when you see the film you'll understand how that would work well! But for some reason: No. Other than that there are some great celeb cameos, humor and action to pass the time, but I guess that's not what people were expecting from this film. It's not bad though. I laughed, and had some fun- so I'm thinking the crazy low rating (3.8?? That's lower than those Syfy channel movies!) is because Piranha 3DD is goofy, not scary, and such a change in mood, story, and humor. People where expecting Piranha 2, they got scary movie 6. And apparently nobody wanted them to go comedy. And in some ways comedy doesn't work for this film, e.i. the first film wanted you to be impressed/entertained by the effects and the scares, and these type of comedy are basically making fun of them selves, so the film doesn't let you admire it's talent. Piranha 3DD is fun, and deserves much better than what it's gotten, but goes to show that spoofs and horror flicks don't mix well.P.S. This film actually did okay over seas, and some of the behind-the-camera crew are interested, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Piranha: Part 3D (The third Piranha movie- hoping it might happen!)
