- 60VarietyLeslie FelperinVarietyLeslie FelperinUps the self-parody so much that it's practically a Wayans Brothers spoof, albeit with fewer jokes.
- 50The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColePiranha 3DD is overcrowded and pointlessly mean. The stunt casting of David Hasselhoff playing himself, riffing off his infamous 2007 drunken home video, gets in the way of the storyline.
- 40Total FilmNeil SmithTotal FilmNeil Smith"Welcome to rock bottom!" sighs Hasselhoff at one stage, pretty much summing up this textbook exercise in sloppy seconds. Here's hoping the piranhas have a better agent than he does.
- It seems impossible that a sequel to a movie as ridiculous as "Piranha 3D" could disappoint but Piranha 3DD stops at mediocre before arriving at gloriously bad.
- 30Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonAdd to this that it takes place in the town of Merkin, and you'll get an idea of the labored spirit of dirty-old-man humor that prevails.
- 25Slant MagazineEd GonzalezSlant MagazineEd GonzalezJohn Gulager is neither artist nor genius, bringing only straight-to-video conviction to Piranha 3DD.
- 25MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie Zacharek"Piranha 3D" was ridiculous, gory and fun, everything Piranha 3DD is not.
- 20Time OutTime OutHecklers can take the night off; ripping on a movie this bad is as rewarding as shooting fish in a barrel.
- 20The New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe New York TimesNeil GenzlingerThe director, John Gulager, has no idea how to mix his ingredients to create a savvy self-parody.
- 11Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovDisappointingly, Piranha 3DD, the inevitable sequel to the remake, has none of Dante's wit, Aja's directorial skills, or Greg Nicotero's grotesqueries.
