Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
A welcome antidote to this season's often painfully self-serious blockbuster offerings.

If the team behind Piranha is planning a sequel they will need to recast as many of the key players were eaten during the craziest 88 minutes I've ever spent in the cinema.

Rating: B- --
A bloody throwback that takes pride in its grindhouse roots. For fans of horror films -- and people looking for a good laugh -- you can do a lot worse.

This moderately entertaining popcorn thriller recaptures the B-movie spirit of such vintage schlockmeisters as Samuel Z. Arkoff and Roger Corman.

For most of Piranha 3D, Aja skates along the line separating satire/camp from horror without straying into the realm of outright parody.

The top joke for film fans is Richard Dreyfuss' cameo as a fisherman....This is a spirited, hard-to-hate hackwork from Alexandre Aja...

The joy of Alexandre Aja's Piranha is that he is accomplishing nothing but a bloody entertaining good time.

Product Description:
HAUTE TENSION and HILLS HAVE EYES director Alexandre Aja pays homage to the films that made him fall in love with the horror genre by helming this comedic remake of director Joe Dante's 1978 JAWS parody. Lake Victoria may look peaceful, but beneath the placid waters of this painterly lake lurks a deadly menace. A powerful underwater tremor has released scores of man-eating prehistoric fish into the waters, and now it's up to a group of unlikely heroes to band together and defeat the razor-toothed predators. With time running out and the aquatic carnivores taking over, one brave heroine (Elisabeth Shue) will risk everything to save the lake and prevent her family from becoming fish food. Richard Dreyfuss, Ving Rhames, Jerry O'Connell, and Adam Scott star in the Dimension Films production.
