- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for romantics and people who need a good giggle. A good one for a late-night scare.

- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 29 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

The U.S. government, eager to protect the nation's avocado supplies, recruits feminist professor Margo Hunt to make contact with the Piranha Women, an all-female tribe who believe men are only good as a source of food. Accompanying Dr. Hunt on her trip are Jim, a guide of questionable competence, and Bunny, a student of unquestionable incompetence.
