Plots(1)
Horror sequel in which a species of violent prehistoric piranha continue to terrify a small town. The chaos unleashed in Piranha by a group of the omnivorous fish, set free by an earthquake that split the floor of a lake, may only have been the beginning. The tests of marine biologist Carl Goodman (Christopher Lloyd) indicate that these fish were only adolescents, suggesting their parents would be even fiercer adversaries. When the piranha make their way into the town's plumbing system, the terror spreads. Soon swimming pools and even the town's brand new waterpark are infested by the bloodthirsty critters. Can the town's residents, marshalled by survivor of the first movie Deputy Fallon (Ving Rhames), find a way to combat their sharp-teethed tormentors? (Entertainment in Video)

The main difference between Piranha 3D and Piranha 3DD is evidently the name of the director. While Alexandre Aja is a master of gore and tension (and not very lucky with scripts), John Gulager is a fanboy with the mentality of a teenager (and for his attempts at “being funny”, he doesn’t even need any good script). Honestly: Piranha 3DD is bullshit, but proper, though you can guess that already from the trailer, so it’s not much such a big deal. It doesn’t bother at all with tension or fear, the second part is a thoroughbred comedy, the gore this time is not worth talking about and the final carnage, rather than complex action, is a poorly edited sequence of a few scenes. What’s good in the end is David Hasselhoff because he knows how to make fun of himself. 5/10

One star for Christopher Lloyd, whose YouTube video has more clicks than that a laughing baby with diarrhoea. Otherwise it's even bigger and even less entertaining rubbish than the first part. Silicon crap.

A star for Hasselhoff, whose cameo is one of the funniest ever. Otherwise, John Gulager should think about whether he shouldn’t stick to pure comedies, instead of spoiling Aja's piranha legend and the illusion of sex with Katrina Bowden. Yuck! :) 25%
