'Piranha' the movie...

I saw this on TV the other night. It is absolutely hilarious, one of those b-movies that is so bad it's good. Kelly Brook is one of the stars and you get to see all of her, so that was nice.
Basic plot: a loads of teens and students are partying at the lake. An old guy fishing accidentally drops a bottle of beer over the side of his boat which sinks to the bottom and hits something, which has an effect similar to taking the plug out of a bath. A huge whirlpool occurs, he disappears down the vortex along with his boat, and an underwater chamber where lots of piranha from a breed everyone thought was extinct now have a free path to swim up to the lake and start eating the partying swimmers!
It sounds crap - and it is - but it's bloody funny! Think 'Shark Attack 3' or 'Jaws 4' for badness! Kelly Brook and another bimbo do lots of naked swimming and we have an underwater camera to capture Kelly in all her naked glory. Doc Brown from 'Back To The Future' is in it too.
One thing I found curious was that Elisabeth Shue stars in the film, she previously co-starred with Tom Cruise in 'Cocktail' and in 'Leaving Las Vegas' with Nicholas Cage, among other big films. She is now starring in b-movies like this. Her career seems to have taken a nose-dive in recent years.
Anyone else seen this film and what did you think? It is worth seeing if you want a giggle!
