Piranha 3D is more funny than disgusting, even when screen fills with half-nude swimmers, bobbing like human dumplings in a roiling vat of borscht. This isn't just sick, it's clas-sick!

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 29, 2011

Seen with a group of friends and in a packed theatre it is doubtful that if this is your cup of tea you're not going to walk away ecstatic afterwards.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 27, 2010

If you're looking for signs of intelligent life -- well, did you really expect to find them in a remake of a Seventies B-movie anyway?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 26, 2010

Gratuitous in every sense of the word.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 26, 2010

This moderately entertaining popcorn thriller recaptures the B-movie spirit of such vintage schlockmeisters as Samuel Z. Arkoff and Roger Corman.

| Aug 26, 2010

Piranha 3D ends the summer on a note of shamelessly entertaining B movie bottomfeeding.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 26, 2010

There's a degree of gruff integrity at work for at least two-thirds of Alexandre Aja's grindhouse piranhapalooza Piranha 3D.

| Aug 26, 2010

An awe-inspiring, stomach-churning journey into blood, gore, and boobs directed by one of France's most talented horror auteurs, Alexandre Aja.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 26, 2010

Pretty limbs are torn rudely off, a girl being carried out of the water splits in two, and Lake Victoria turns blood red with the carnage.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 26, 2010

That most unlikely of remakes -- an improvement.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 25, 2010

What is disturbing is the talent and distinction of much of the cast, whose mere presence seems to signify an element of smart, self-conscious fun that the movie does not really supply.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 23, 2010

Aja's ability to spoof an easy target gives 'Piranha 3-D' its primary thrill factor. All those scenes of wriggling naked bodies torn to shreds have obvious cathartic potential.

Full Review | Aug 22, 2010

A movie this adolescently dirty-minded could hardly pass up a chance to go to Lake Titicaca.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 22, 2010

Lacks the fear and emotion of The Hills Have Eyes, isn't half as witty as Sorority Row and almost entirely consists of the same kill over and over.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2010

[Proves] yet again that there's no concept so foolproof filmmakers can't screw it up.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 21, 2010

It's hard to imagine how scenes of mass dismemberment set during a wet T-shirt contest could be staged any better.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 21, 2010

Piranha 3D proves a worthy heir to its brazen exploitation-cinema forefathers.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 20, 2010

A ridiculous gore-fest that falls completely flat in terms of character, dialogue, and logic but pops off the screen in the areas in which it really counts for a movie about prehistoric man-eating fish.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 20, 2010

These bros and bimbos are jerk tartare. Go, fish, go!

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 20, 2010

The softcore cynicism wore me down a bit.
