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?!
