Editorial Reviews

From The New Yorker
Not since the mystifying string of Jim Varney's "Ernest" movies has a comic been as consistently overemployed as Pauly Shore. He has the body of a porn actor but lacks the stamina; he mistimes his gags and still mugs like a newcomer. Here he's teamed with Stephen Baldwin, and together they wreak havoc inside an artificially controlled experimental environment (they think it's a mall). Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels have already set their stamp on the dumb-and-dumber routine, and this attempt fails at every level to improve on theirs. The sheer ineptitude of the movie is supposed to be funny, but there's no lunacy behind it: Shore and his writers are like comedians on Prozac, smiling through the fart jokes without a hint of desperation. -Bruce Diones

Product Description
They're weird, they're wild and they're going totally environmental! Two deadbeat dudes are about to trade beer and pizza for soymilk and tofu in this outrageously funny comedy from the producers of Dumb and Dumber. Before Earth Day 1996, the closest Bud (Pauly Shore) and Doyle (Stephen Baldwin) had ever come to a garbage dump was the floor of their apartment! So when their ecology-conscious girlfriends ask them to stop wasting time and start cleaning waste, the dimwitted duo makes it clear that they'd rather talk trash than pick it up. But their world suddenly changes when they're accidentally trapped inside Bio-Dome a year long scientific ecological experiment with no fast food or cable television! Will Bud and Doyle adapt to their new found habitat or will their very presence spell extinction for themselves, the project and perhaps the entire planet?!

1.0 out of 5 stars STUPIDLY OFFENSIVE JUNK, April 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bio-Dome [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have no problem with dumb movies: Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorite. Ren, Stimpy, Beavis, and Butthead are among my favorite characters. I even enjoyed other Pauly Shore's movies like In the Army Now, Encino Man, and Son-in-Law. But this one inexcuseably irritating. The two central characters are painfully annoying. There's a big difference between stupid movies made by genius and the one made by moron. This one is unbearable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Umm... what the hell was that???, May 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bio-Dome [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Possibly the stupidest (not good stupid, but bad stupid) movie I have ever seen. I turned off the vcr in the middle of it -- it was so bad. The equivalent entertainment would be to go to the bathroom and fart my brains out... I think that would actually be funnier then that peace of garbage was. Total waste of money and time. WARNING: DO NOT BUY OR RENT THIS MOVIE! If you're looking for a dumb movie that will make you laugh, trust me, this is NOT it!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pauly Shore movie!, January 18, 2006
By SuperJenn (South Florida) - See all my reviews
Sometimes, when you're in an overly silly mood, only one thing will do: Pauly Shore. That's why I love Bio-Dome. It's just silly all over. The concept is utterly ridiculous...2 stoner community college kids mistake an enclosed environment, the bio-dome, for a mall and get trapped inside for a year. If you enjoy Pauly Shore in all his silly glory, you'll have a lot of fun with Bio-Dome. Don't take it too seriously...just watch and laugh. For those who enjoyed Encino Man and Son-in-Law, Bio-Dome will do the trick. An amusing way to spend an hour and a half.

The movie, Bio Dome, is a must see. Pauly Shore and Steven Baldwin are the main actors. They play as two frat boys who get trapped in a biological bubble with 5 scientists. Read more
