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

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pauly Shore movie!, January 18, 2006

By	SuperJenn (South Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bio-Dome (DVD)

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.

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

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!!!
