Wow, what can I say? It was awesome, ridiculous, and tremendously entertaining. The Mega franchise has another winner complete with former pop singers and tv stars (Tiffany and Barry Williams). Tiffany stars as a scientist who accidentally invents a violent strain of piranha that can't be controlled. When these beasties end up in the local river, they eat a congressman and a tour boat. Mercy!The military are called in to stop this watery menace, and by military I mean one special ops guy named Jason. Jason is met at the airport by Tiffany with a piece of wood from the sunken boat which is supposed to prove that it's demise was due to the piranha, not an explosion as the authorities have stated.
With Jason and Tiffany hot on the trail of the piranha, things get crazier as it is discovered that the piranha double in size every 36 hours. Soon piranha the size of school buses are flying down the streets and diving through buildings. The cgi is pretty lame, but in this case it made the movie funnier.
The ending is along the lines of Megashark vs Giant Octopus where there is no good reason for it to resolve and you'll wonder how they succeeded. But that's okay, because I can still hang onto the vision of Jason lying on his back on the beach, moving his legs like he's riding an invisible bike and kicking piranha out of the air one after another. Ridiculous!!
