Mega Piranha (2010 TV Movie)
3/10
Wow! Just wow!

I was always told that no one ever set out to make a bad movie, they did the best they could with what they had. These guys rather blow that theory out of the water.

Anyway, here's the premise. Tiffany and a couple of Americans working in the Venezuelan jungle for no good reason release mutant Piranha into the river. They double in size every few hours and eat several bikini clad women and a US diplomat, bringing them to the attention of the US State Dept. An impossibly ripped special forces dude is sent to investigate, running into the clichéd South American corrupt sleazy Colonel and huge rubbery fish. It all gets out of hand and the faeces/fan interface is spectacular.

Good points? The pace is pretty relentless, with lots of action throughout. The CGI and effects in general are nowhere near as bad as in Mega Shark v Giant Octopus, coming up to TV movie standards most of the time. They only really become obvious because we get to see so much of them. Oh, and there's some smashing boobage at the start. Bad points? Crummy acting, clichéd dialogue, clichéd characters with no more than 1 dimension and Tiffany way chubbier than her old nude photos.

This Is a pretty inept attempt at a scifi shocker, but fun none the less. Fans of rubbish movies will love it, a few beers and all sins are forgiven as you laugh your nuts off.
