Piranha 3D - Movie Review

[ScarlettP]

Piranha 3D was so Funny! (Not all the jokes were intentional. Most were.) We had a blast. I found the casting to be as funny as anything else.

The movie starts with Richard Dreyfuss (Jaws) sitting in a fishing boat with the radio playing "Show Me the Way to go Home". Jerry O'Connell (Sliders) plays a sleazy soft porn director who goes to a lake crowded with college kids on spring break to take advantage of all the 'free boobies'. Christopher Lloyd (Taxi, Back to the Future) plays the Fish Expert / Scientist who needs to look at the Piranha.

I appreciate these little spoofy things when they occur. During the gratuitous nude girls swimming scene, they played "Flower Duet" from the opera 'Lakme'. (Had to look that up. It is also known as the Ghirardelli chocolate commercial song.) I believe that piece of music had our group laughing more than anything else.

Just FYI - there are LOTS and LOTS of pretty girls in bikinis shaking everything they have for the camera. Several topless shots of very bouncy boobies. And then it's like everyone gets tossed into the piranha blender and gore-afide. FABULOUS! We loved it. Best movie since Snakes on a Plane.

I read a review of "Piranha 3D" that said it was one of the worst, most pointless, and most gratuitously violent movie ever made, with enough nudity to make a porn director blush.

Which, of course, makes me want to go see it.

Sounds like a great movie for The Drive Inn.

At any point in the movie, did Dreyfuss say, "We're gonna need bigger boobs"?

Sadly, no. But most of the boobies were pretty large.

Yes. It's a pointless movie with very little plot. Who really needs or wants one? Lots of fun little 'in jokes'. Several fun sight gags. More blood than Sweeny Todd. Hawt, brainless young people getting slaughtered. HUGE, gaping plot holes. What more could you ask for in a summer gore fest?

I am really sold now. Must see.

I'll take graTITous violence and nudity over plot any day.

And an extra helping of zombies please!

You're all missing the point.

It's not that it's funny or stupid.

It's not that it's a spoof.

It's that it has BOOBIES in 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read today two of the "actresses" have extensive porn credits..
