This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

A Wonderful Comic/Monster WaterFest !!! Jessica Sonneborn is Spectacular Portraying a distraught Stripper; & Ashe Parker UnderGoes a Stunning Transformation into a Gloriously Beautiful Woman ! Kristina Page & Noel Thurman, in a Dual Role, Also put in Great Performances ! It's No Wonder that Kevin Sorbo has such a Hard Time keeping his pants on amidst these Lovely Ladies & a Bevy of Other Beauties !!! Ramona Mallory & Collin Galyean Do a Fabulous Job leading the Cast in this Action Adventure; & Al Snow shows Us a Slightly Different Side to his usual Persona ! It's Great Fun for Landlubbers & Seafarers Alike !!!

I purchased this movie from Amazon, well expecting it to be a low budget creature feature, although I had hoped that it would be one of those fun ones; you know, the ones that are so bad that they are actually fun to watch. But that was not the case with "Piranha Sharks".First of all, the DVD was titled "Jurassic Piranha". Wait, what? Seriously? How could the movie end up with a title so deviant from its original title, unless it being an attempt to cash in on something else. Especially since there was nothing even remotely prehistoric about the creatures in the movie. They were man-made and tinkered with in a Laboratory.Right, well moving on. The story is about a company which have the idea of cross-breeding sharks and piranha, and selling them as pets to families. The creatures, of course, grow quickly, have an endless appetite and start to mutate. Soon the entire city of Manhattan is in dire peril at the ferocity of these vicious toothy fishy killers. And it is up to a small group of local exterminators to save the entire city of Manhattan from extermination, be it from the piranha sharks or from the US government who wants to drop nuclear bombs to contain the piranha sharks.Indeed. Yeah, that was the scope of the ludicrous storyline. Simple? Yes. Stupid? Yes. Entertaining? No.The CGI effects in "Piranha Sharks" is among the top three of bad special effects that I have ever witnessed in a movie. It was so bad that it went beyond bad. Trust me.And the acting in the movie was as to be expected from a movie of this genre and type. But I had never expected an actor like Kevin Sorbo to appear in a movie such as this.I still managed to sit through the entire movie, despite it being so bad. Why? Well, I was hoping that it would get better, or at least turn into something so bad that it would be funny. But no, it just kept on being bad in a bad way. Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Piranha Sharks".I am rating "Piranha Sharks" a mere one out of ten stars.

Got this in a supermarket under the name 'Jurassic Piranha' & knew it was going to be one of those SyFy films with cheap nasty effects & loads of clichés & bad script etc.I wasn't surprised as it had cheap CGI effects, over used clichés & a very short run time of 73 minutes. But weirdly enough I liked it. Somehow the story-line was a bit far fetched, I mean come on, they were going to nuke the entire city over Piranhas? And what's more we saw no other attacks aside from the people involved in the film? And alcohol killing them a weakness? It was all very stupid indeed & the film did feel rushed & very WOAH if you know what I mean! But you get what you paid for! After all, it did cost me only £3 in ASDA! But still it was a OK film with sh!t loads of flaws but somehow washed with me enough. It's fantasy mixed with horror & was alright, but not as good as Sharktopus or Lake Placid 2, that film especially showed it's form a cheap CGI at it's biggest form, but these films you expect them to be sh!t, with crappy effects, bad story-line a dumb way to kill off the monster at the end some nut head scientist & babes & muscle men etc. Along with bad effects & far fetched story-lines it's what you get & some are better than others being honest!Overall, this film was bearable & watchable for a quick flick! 6/10

Can it be? Can it really be that a movie called 'Piranha Sharks' is ANYTHING but 'So bad, I can't look away'?Yes, it can. It really can be more than that. In fact, I'd say it can actually be quite good.Everything in the movie works to accentuate the strongest points of the film. The comedy, acting, and script. These things are on point, and if you're looking to be entertained, you want to give this one a watch. Everything else that you might 'assume' would be 'bad' -- is simply there to enhance these key attributes of the overall film.The entire point, from beginning to end, is to have a FUN movie (so, if you're not into fun, shut the movie off and go back to your Sundance collection) -- but to have a fun movie, that also tells a story and has deep moments of character development, and interaction? You have to appreciate it for what it is. If you want to have some fun, and enjoy a script, and acting far superior to some of these other 'Sharktonadmech'- whatever movies out these days -- 'Piranha Sharks' is for you!
