Piranha DD (2012) - John Gulager

After the massacre on Lake Victoria, the pre-historic blood-thirsty piranha have found there way into one of the most popular attractions in a near by town, The Big Wet Water Park.  Piranha DD is pretty much exactly what you would expect in a stupid, sleazy b-movie. The film doesn't really bring anything new to the table but it does provide sold entertainment value if you like this sort of thing.  Piranha DD is violent but it never all that creative in the execution and staging of the violence, providing only one truly fun sequence involving Sex and Piranhas.  The sleaziness of it all is entertaining at times, like how Chet, the scumbag owner, has turned a part of his water park into a strip club.  The problem is that Piranha DD tries a little hard at times making certain parts just feel too forced for the sake of being over the top.  The story takes far too long to get to the good part, feeling the need to take almost two thirds of the film setting up and explaining a rudimentary plot.  The main protagonist, Maddy, is the step-daughter of Chet, who clearly doesn't share his vision of how the water park should be run.  She is part of a silly love triangle between her best friend and her ex-boyfriend that is just a waste of time.  David Hasselhoff is easily the best part of the film and really provides the only sequences where I can I had fun.  Piranha DD is very similar to its predecessor in that it's a film that never lives up to its potential.
