I really enjoyed Piranha
3D. It took me completely by surprise and was funny, rude and ridiculous. Piranha 3DD has all the same ingredients
but has added more rude and ridiculous and toned down the funny. The result is pretty
much the same film as the original but has lost what made it unique as it’s all
been seen before. There is nothing new and the ‘story’ isn’t progressed but it
has the odd moment which made me smile and plenty which made me cringe.

Piranha 3DD
A sequel to 2010’s surprise hit Piranha 3D stars an ensemble cast of large breasted girls and
handsome men plus a few D List comedy actors and well known faces in a battle
of fish vs man. The action is transported to a water park in Arizona where sleazy Chet (David Koechner – Anchorman) has made some changes to his
late wife’s park. These include hiring strippers as lifeguards and the use of a
dodgy water supply. His daughter in law Maddy (Danielle Panabaker) is home for
the summer and shocked at the changes. With rumour of Piranha on the prowl she
tries to close the park but finds that she is already too late.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil
A group of
typical college students are on their way through the isolated West Virginian
wilderness when they come across a couple of Red Necks. Afraid, they scarper
and set up camp near a lake. The Red Necks, Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler
Labine) have recently bought an old cabin and are in the area to do some
fishing and maintenance. That night the kids go skinny dipping and one of them (Katrina
Bowden) falls in banging her head. Dale and Tucker come to her rescue and pull
her aboard their boat. The other kids see this and believe she is being kidnapped
and formulate a plan to get her back and enact their revenge.
The film is
a nice twist and reverse of the classic kids in the woods surrounded by hillbillies
film but is unfortunately usurped in its originality by The Cabin in the Woods. The idea itself is clever and interesting,
it’s nice to have a look at the oftold story from the hillbilly perspective but
after forty minutes I’d had enough. I laughed a couple of times in the opening
minutes but overall found the film unfunny and boring. After the opening twist
there is little else of interest and the plot becomes predictable and dull.
