Movie Review: Piranha 3D (2010)

If you feel the appeal of spring break sun, of the sunniest of days, of the para-sailing, and Jet Ski romps, of endless summer, if you come alive with the call of the co-eds, then Piranha may be the picture for you.

But from an underground lake comes an ominous thrashing. Limitless piranha, larger than ever before seen, have spawned, and are hungry – thirsting for blood! The 3D venue provides us with up-close views of piranha teeth, as well as buxom beauties.

They have a power yacht with a glass-enclosed viewing box for underwater escapades, most notably the tasteful and refreshing scenes of two lithe lovelies playing and enjoying one another’s company in the all-together naturalness that they are eager to share. Among the movie producers, a rather obnoxious director; then we meet the sensitive and pragmatic young man who really shouldn’t be there; he is supposed to be watching the children. Eventually the aforementioned children and their mother come into play for the final blood fest.
