Though it was once a wholesome, family-oriented attraction, a water park owned by Chet now features a nudist pool and aquatic strippers. Chet's daughter, a marine biologist named Maddy, is unhappy about the changes but is powerless to stop the grand reopening. However, when a school of ravenous, prehistoric piranha migrate over from nearby Lake Victoria, Maddy must somehow prevent the park's patrons from becoming fish food.

Critics Consensus

It strains to up the gore and self-awareness of it predecessor, and -- despite some game celebrity cameos -- the result is a dispiriting echo of 2010's horror-comedy.

3/5

Tacky and intermittently entertaining is all"Piranha 3DD"sets out to be, and that is all this playfully graphic horror-comedy sequel accomplishes.

D+

The first half of the film merely treads water in anticipation for the eventual bloodbath, and once the teeth start gnawing, it's just one laborious machination after another to get to the end of the movie, which stops without much of a resolution.

With most of the running time devoted to setting up and over-explaining the premise, mayhem gets short shrift.

2/5

The previous film was surprisingly delightful, with those successes being totally absent from this follow-up.

4/10

The gore is a bit limited at first, while the computer-animated chompers still look terribly fake, but the over-the-top violence soon supplements the routine nakedness.

1.0/4.0

The film also features gratuitous cameos from the likes of Gary Busey being Gary Busey and, in a more extended cameo, David Hasselhoff being David Hasselhoff.

Mildly entertaining, if your looking for some brainless laughs.

Making movies this bad should be criminalized.

God! This movie was so bad... So bad to the point I was already fast forwarding just so I can finish it.

Super dumb sequel starring some random teens of the street with so much nudity, it was disgusting how much was in this movie. I'll forget this movie in about 2 seconds already forgot about it.

Certainly gets quite a bit more absurd than the first one, but it's still a blast and exactly what you expect.

Barring a few boobs, a few terrible lines and lots of gore...this is worth avoiding!
