Piranha - DVD Review By: Confessions of an Overworked Mom Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 1/23/2011 3:50 AM

Piranha is available from Sony Entertainment on Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D and DVD. The plot is predictable. College spring break means buxom blonds with barely concealed bodies bumping and grinding on the beaches of sleepy Lake Victoria. It means lots of drinking, wet t-shirt contests, obnoxious drunk guys and of course piranhas who have been released by an underwater earthquake into Lake Victoria....read the full review

Box Office
3 stars out of 5 -- "Ruthless and ridiculous, Aja's horror comedy has a purity of vision." 08/20/2010

Entertainment Weekly
"The movie should have been called JAWS GONE WILD....This MTV apocalypse delivers the goods." -- Grade: B- 09/03/2010

Hollywood Reporter
"[A] pitch-perfect, guilty-pleasure serving of late-summer schlock that handily nails the tongue-in-cheek spirit of the Roger Corman original." 08/19/2010

Rolling Stone
"[S]hamelessly entertaining....Aja tips his hat to Steven Spielberg and then it's off to the low-rent races." 08/26/2010

Movieline
"Ah, the pleasures of unapologetic, good-natured exploitation....Aja gets the tone just right..." 08/20/2010

Sight and Sound
"The top joke for film fans is Richard Dreyfuss' cameo as a fisherman....This is a spirited, hard-to-hate hackwork from Alexandre Aja..." 11/01/2010

Empire
3 stars out of 5 -- "Sheriff Elisabeth Shue does one great stepping-from-one-upturned-boat-to-the-next stunt..." 01/07/2010

Total Film
3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] some fun cameos and imaginative splatter..." 02/01/2011

Piranha 3-D is a loving hark back to an eighties vibe of horror film-making, mixing the gore drenched splatter features of that era with an extra added Porky's vibe to it. Interestingly with all the gratuitous female features on display, Aja's film still manages to make the characters we're meant to be watching likable enough to forget about the boobs (depending on who you are). A fun, disposable flick with enough gore and laughs for genre fans, Piranha isn't going to make massive waves in the great horror circle, but manages to be a nice nibble for it's 88 minutes. - Byron Pitt

The flick primarily follows the local Sheriff played by Elizabeth Shue who is investigating the strange events that are happening in the lake. While this is happening her son goes on a boat with Kelly Brook and Jerry O,Connell to shoot a porn movie, and? well you can kind of figure out what else happens.This is a good beer drinking flick for those of us that don?t really want to watch a movie that requires a lot of thought. The humor is more parody of spring break that turns into a Bloodbath. I liked that actually. If you are looking for that sort of thing you will enjoy this. - Casey C. Corpier
