From the producers of DUMB & DUMBER comes this 'no-brainer' eco-trip. Slackers Bud and Doyle (Stephen Baldwin and Pauly Shore) happen upon the opening ceremonies for the BIO-DOME, an environmental facility which is controlled by five scientists, who will be hermetically sealed in it for a year. But before you can say "dumb and .. Read more

    Excruciatingly awful comedy about a couple of crude, lewd and generally nauseating brothers (Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin) who accidentally gatecrash a year-long science bio-dome experiment. Naturally, they trash the place. The film aims for a goofy Wayne's World type vibe, but the brain-dead brothers' juvenile antics grate like nails scraping down a blackboard and the plotting is an insult — the boys invite hundreds of revellers to a dome party, yet nobody tries to stop them! Even the expected last-minute change of heart rings hollow. The delightful Joey Lauren Adams (of Chasing Amy fame) as Shore's girlfriend is the film's minor virtue.

  • Yet another in the 90s cycle of dumb comedies involving stupid heroes and their bodily functions; this, though, may be the dumbest so far.

    Avoid, avoid, avoid!

    One of (if not the) worst films I have ever seen! The plot is absurd, and not in a good way. The jokes are beyond puerile - even a primary school pupil would be too mature for them. The acting is wooden and the characters are painfully one-dimensional. Avoid this film at all costs!

    Average comedy dross

    Some things aren't for everyone and this is one of those things. Some funny moments + alot of just stooopid nonsense = Biodome. Almost not worth bothering with, but I've seen much worse, so give it a go, then forget you ever watched it!

    Biodome

    Ok so when I first watched this I hd no idea how camp Pauly Shore was, quite a shock to see it now, still one of the best soundtracks, watch out for a very young and thin Jack Black!

    One for the kids?

    I remember watching this film when it first came out when I was a kid. I remember loving it and so eagerly anticipated renting it. However, it wasn't as good as I remembered, although I did notice a cameo form the band Tenacious D, which I had previously failed to notice. To conclude, this film is more for younger viewers, I'm sure they would love the main characters who are very similar to the leads in "Dude where's my car?"

    More Forgettable than Watchable

    Bio-Dome I can not give a review of this film as I fell asleep waiting for the film to get going and have some meaning to its making, not even Kylie Minogue and what she does with a carrot held my attention to see the film through to its end.

    Classic comedy

    Great for all Pauly fans, makes you laugh in his typical mad style. Good story and funny film. Would recommend as a comedy.

    Dumber than Dumb!

    Hmmmm tale of two typically Dumb teenagers let loose inside a scientific experiment. Plenty of silly stunts in a “Jackass” kind of way to keep you amused (if that’s your thing)!

    More than enough boy/girl slightly raunchy clips. Its worth watching just to see that kylie has retained a small amount of acting ability, even though her hair style changes several times per day!

    Not a serious film, but one that will keep your teens amused for an hour or two.
