Piranha 3D is a fun horror movie. You have your usual horny comedy type of situations, hot chicks partying and getting naked, only then monster piranhas eat them!! American Pie Gets Eaten you might say.
The nudity is nice, and the gore is insane, it's so gory it works as a tense horror movie despite being so over-the-top. I think "please, stop mutilating these poor party people, you evil fish!"
But does it actually work as an entertaining film? Do we care about the characters? I'd say so, the main plucky young guy who's trying to get with the main girl is sympathetic enough. And our action heroes all do well, Elisabeth Shue as the sheriff, Ving Rhames as the badass, and Adam Scott as an unlikely hero. Jerry O'Connell of Sliders fame is hilarious as the requisite asshole character too. And naturally Christopher Lloyd steals the show, hyping up how monstrous the piranhas are with awesome over-the-top dialogue.
And of course, England's own Kelly Brook is glorious in this. Legendarily hot and naked, plus she's a nice character who's somewhat heroic even, which is fun.
All in all, if you want a fun exploitation horror movie with lots of nude women, and you don't mind tons of fairly disturbing gore, this is a summer movie to check out.
