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! Thought 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?

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%
