Piranha 3D

Horror, Camp
2.5 stars
An adolescent boy’s dream, since it should be subtitled “Big Bare Boobs in 3D”. I was looking forward to some campy fun as the piranhas attack in a lake during spring break. A surprising cast, with Richard Dreyfuss in the opening scene (we love Richard with killer fish), Elisabeth Shue as the local sheriff, Ving Rhames as her deputy, and Jerry O’Connell as a producer of “Wild Wild Girls” porn videos. There is even a small role for Christopher Lloyd. Steven R. McQueen (Vampire Diaries) stars as Shue’s son who gets hired by O’Connell to be his local tour guide. Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl) is the object of his affection who gets lured on the boat with creepy O’Connell. Mostly though, it’s just big bare boobs parasailing, swimming in a sort of underwater ballet, jet-skiing, water skiing, and of course, getting eaten by piranhas. For adolescent minded males only.
