Bud and Doyle are two losers who are doing nothing with their lives. Both of their girlfriends are actively involved in saving the environment, but the two friends couldn't care less about saving the Earth. One day, when a group of scientists begin a mission to live inside a "Bio-Dome" for a year without outside contact, Bud and Doyle mistakenly become part of the project themselves.

Amazingly, this movie was given a theatrical release, rather than being disposed of as hazardous waste. Even more amazing is the fact that it actually has defenders. There are those who believe that this movie is harmless fun, when in fact you would have to be one of the hysterically laughing stoners from Reefer Madness to find it at all entertaining. A failed internet stunt is less painful than sitting through this mess, and no more likely to leave you with brain damage.Bud and Doyle are our two everyman heroes, assuming every guy is a nitwit with no job and Joey Lauren Adams for a girlfriend. And like the rest of us nitwits, Bud and Doyle just want to party while the Earth goes to hell on a fast train. There is a potential cautionary tale about environmental awareness in there somewhere, but it gets lost amidst our duo's goofy but unfunny antics. Bud and Doyle make the cast of Jackass look like Laurel and Hardy by comparison.After a few misunderstandings and much time-wasting non-hilarity, our duo find themselves locked in a sealed environment with five scientists who are studying environmental sustainability. Two of the scientists are played by popstar Kylie Minogue and former model Dara Tomanovich, and if I ever find out which graduate school they attended, I may go back to school. But our boys just want to have dumb fun and proceed to trash the place. Again, the idea that this whole movie might actually be a social allegory about man partying over Mother Nature's deathbed may occur to those viewers who are still aware of their surroundings, but it quickly gets lost thanks to several long scenes involving Pauly Shore not being funny.This whole business goes on for ninety fairly painful minutes. You can usually tell whether a movie succeeded as entertainment by watching the audience as it leaves the theatre. If a movie is a think piece, everybody looks thoughtful. Patrons of comedies tend to leave in an upbeat mood. The audience for Bio Dome looked lobotomized. The best part of the movie was that it did not end with a title card that read Pauly Shore Returns In...

Bud Weisman (Pauly Shore) and Doyle Johnson (Stephen Baldwin) are two idiot best friends. Their environmentalist girlfriends Monique (Joey Lauren Adams) and Jen (Teresa Hill) have had enough of their hijinx. The idiots take a drive and end up at the Bio-Dome where Dr. Noah Faulkner (William Atherton) leading a group of scientists are about to begin an one-year experiment. Doyle needs to pee and the boys sneak in. They get locked in and pushed to join in the experiment.Pauly Shore plays an annoying moron but that's expected. Stephen Baldwin joins him in a kind of Beavis and Butthead duo. They're not particularly funny. They play dumb but not in a lovable way. They're callous and selfish. They're also a little rapey. They're not good characters. The scientists other than Atherton are too bland. The movie's main failure is that I don't find any of this funny.

I wanted to jab my eyes out with a piece of glass. This movie was made by the devil, this is probably a form of torture in some countries. There is so much wrong with this movie it's probably easier to say what is good about this movie. The only thing I liked was that there was a tenacious D cameo. What I really hated was Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin. They did absolutely nothing but do some stupid stunts and tell awful jokes for 90 minuets. Who wrote this movie? Every line isn't funny at all. You know you failed when your main characters being left to die in a desert climate is the only part I was happy you failed. The first rule of writing characters is to make us like them, especially if it's a main character. Another thing I hated was the two girlfriends, those two are hot, and they are dating two idiots who any normal person would want in a mental institution. This movie actually proves something, in the film it has a message about the environment, it's good to have a message like that, but the message isn't what makes the movie, it still sucks. This gets a 1/10, no one ever watch this awful movie.

Bio-Dome is the most disgraced comedy I've ever seen and there are so many reasons why do I hate this movie so much? Well, is it about two jackasses are acting like retards? Is it they act so annoying? Or they just act like a mean spirited people? The question is...Yes. This movie is about two stupidest dudes are planning stay over at Bio-Dome for next 365 days, until they started to ruin the entire experiment where no else to get out of this damn dome. Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin are the worst annoying characters that I rather kill myself watching these dumb idiots are acting like monkeys and they have no charm like these goofy funny people like Lloyd and Harry from "Dumb and Dumber." One of the biggest problem about this piece of crap is annoying. Annoying is where these idiots are screaming like hell, breaking more experiments, obnoxious gags, and weird unfunny faces. This could be a holocaust of a bad comedy to suffer their humanity of getting suicide while watching this terrible movie. But again, it's ANNOYING!
