Bud and Doyle are two losers who are doing nothing with their lives.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Dave from Ottawa 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...
jake-law123 There's no way to enjoy this film, unless you're brain dead and can't tell it different from anything else or if you were high, even then it probably wouldn't work. This film is anti comedy, so bad and so unfunny it begs the question how it was made, and somewhat a success.Pauley Shore and Stephen Baldwin plays two dimwit best friends who accidentally become test subjects of a Bio Dome project to sustain life for a year. Being forced to stay in the Bio Dome with the other scientists, their goofy antics ultimately ruin everything, including what comedy stands for.A lot of the comedy comes from Pauley and Stephen making goofy faces and noises. There's barely any attempt at a joke here. The best part about the movie is the Tenacious D cameo, that's pretty much it. The rest of the film is just these two dunderheads acting like idiots the whole time. And no, it's not entertainingly bad, because the film is also boring. It's only an hour an a half but it felt like an eternity because the whole film is basically filler, they're just goofing around all day. The point is that they're likablely stupid, but instead they're so painfully stupid I wanted to kill myself. I was so disappointed in the end when it looked like they died but then they didn't. If they had died that would have made up for the rest of the film, but instead they move on, though the film ends after that so oh well.I do not recommend this film to anybody. If you're curious, trust me, it's not worth it. The biggest waste of time I've ever had the displeasure of wasting. The 2nd worst comedy of all time, (the 1st being Meet the Spartans).
ricofelipe55 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!
FlashCallahan 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 could 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 mistakingly become part of the project themselves.The two must then learn how to protect the Earth and help the scientists complete their mission....First off, if you're not a fan of Pauly Shore, stop reading and do something else. I like Shore and his movies, they do their job and provide entertainment and are never boring, no matter how moronic they appear to be.This was one reason for me to watch this movie, the second was to see the biggest career nosedive in recent memory. Hello Stephen Baldwin. One minute, your in an Oscar winning movie, next your Playing Garth to Shores Wayne.It's silly stuff, but it's never boring and it's heart is in the right place. Shore seems to be having a whale of a time, which shows he loves his work, just like Sandler.The biggest surprise in this movie is that the guy you think will be a sleaze (Atherton, who clearly is in Ghostbusters and Die Hard 1&2) is quite lenient with the pair for the majority of the movie, which is good, because it has some originality to it.But all in all, it's a dumb movie, offering nothing new into the stoner buddy comedy, but it has some charm to it, and the cast have great chemistry and there is a message to all of this.it's never dull like a lot of comedies, but it's not for everyones taste. If you like a good 'bad' movie, you could do a lot 'worse'.
