Having awoken from their spring break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the swarm heads upstream where they look to make a meal out of Big Wet, a local water park where when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter! Though they came to get wet, get loaded and get some, the staff and patrons get more than they bargained for when they must face the fiercest, most bloodthirsty piranhas yet. Lead by the strong-willed, studious Maddy and her friends, Barry and Kyle, the trio must dive in and take on these man-eating creatures using every ounce of their being but can they be stopped?

"This Is Us" star Chris Sullivan gets emotional about Season 2. Plus, "The IMDb Show" looks at the most highly-anticipated TV shows of 2018 and talks to Lena Waithe about "The Chi."
I'd heard bad things about Piranha 3DD, and being in the midst of a worldwide economic recession, decided not to see it at the cinema, instead saving my hard earned cash for something more 'worthwhile'. What a fool I was: as I have just found out (better late than never), even devoid of its extra dimension, Piranha 3DD is the perfect tonic for these depressing timesa sexy, hilarious, rip-roaring, breast-filled, blood-soaked sequel, the very epitome of 'huge dumb fun'.
The majority of the action takes place in and around The Big Wet, a water park where big-breasted women go free, and where a special 'adults only' area allows for naked bathing (meaning that the film is packed with gratuitous female nudity from start to finish, with most of the nekkidness coming courtesy of surgically enhanced strippers, judging from all the 'tramp stamps' on display). In an attempt to keep costs down, unscrupulous owner Chet (David Koechner) intends to fill the park with water pumped from an underground lake, unaware that it is teeming with voracious prehistoric piranha. Chet's tasty step-daughter Maddy (gorgeous Danielle Panabaker) and park employee Barry (Matt Bush) realise the danger, but are too late to stop the carnage.
From the opening scene in which a dead cow farts piranha eggs and Gary Busey gets chewed to pieces, to the gore drenched finale that features the best 'severed-head-between-blood-drenched-surgically-enhanced-breasts' gag ever committed to film, 3DD is unashamedly crass, and all the more entertaining for it. If you thought that things couldn't get more unsophisticated and tasteless than the regurgitated penis from the first film, then think again: in 3DD, a young couple have sex only for the boy to wind up with a piranha chomping on his pecker (giving rise to one of the funniest lines of dialogue in the film: 'Josh cut off his penis because something came out of my vagina').
Director John Gulager, who also gave us the fun Feast films, clearly has a blast throwing as much lunacy on the screen, and his game cast all join in on the fun no matter how insane it all gets: Ving Rhames trying to overcome his fear of water is laugh-out-loud, a fat park employee humping a water outlet and getting a fish stuck up his ass is highly immature but very funny, David Hasselhoff sending himself up something rotten is simply legendary, and the final unexpected death is awesome! What a shame that so many viewerspeople clearly in need of a stickuptheassectomyhave failed to embrace the silliness.
