I saw this movie yesterday. I liked it. Sure, it doesn't come near to Jaws and it was nothing special but it was quite fun. This is quite gory, gorier than Jaws but not higher than 15+ level. I have seen 2 other Joe Dante movies and I liked them both.
The piranhas in this movie looked very fake. In fact mostly, all we see are shadows. We see fleeting glimpses though. They were still a convincing but not wildly frightening. Joe Dante uses somewhat clichéd camera work but there is a fair amount of suspense here. The acting was fine, and the script had a few good jokes packed in. The action was intense and enjoyable. It was a fun little horror comedy, but not amazing.
Verdict: It's silly plot and somewhat clichéd camera work will put some off, but the good jokes, fair amount of suspense and light fun feel may win you over.
FINAL RATING: 7
