Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian 21 or older. The parent/guardian is required to stay with the child under 17 through the entire movie, even if the parent gives the child/teenager permission to see the film alone.

I do feel like they casted better this time around, and the effects are decent enough that they showed off the fish some this time and it wasn't terr...
<em>'Piranha'</em> is a waste of time, unless you haven't seen the 1978 original I guess. It's a shot-for-shot remake, more (a bad) reenactment really, aside from a few strange changes; no spoilers, but one involving an animal and one involving a weapon are particularly odd decisions.
Aside from those mentioned bits, the rest is quite literally a repeat of the Joe Dante movie; down to the dialo...
