"That's it in a nutshell, and yes, the storyline is both random and goofier than shit. Yet, that's all part of Piranha‘s charm. This flick is by no means good; in fact, for the most part it's just a really blatant rip-off of Jaws, but wow is it fun. We're talking turn your brain off entertainment at its finest, folks. Piranha delivers more than its fair share of laughs, intentional and otherwise, while keeping in tune with the campy boobs and blood flicks of its time. None of it really makes any sense, but it's a safe bet that by the time these creatures start their nibbling, plot holes will be the last thing on your mind." - Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
