EthanLSep 9, 20082Yes, it's a lousy movie. Yes, Pauly Shore is an obscenely unfunny motherf****r who deserves to be flipping burgers somewhere in Ohio right now instead of being wealthy and famous. But, there were a few [by which I literally mean about 3] jokes that actually made me laugh out loud, so this movie, while overall a thoroughly second-rate film by any standard, is not a COMPLETE waste of time.

CriticsareDumbJan 9, 200410Fairly funny. About a 6 really, but there are a bunch of little crybabies who will vote 0, so I'll give it a 10 to offset.
-
-
WilfordBrimleyJan 9, 20040Pauley Shore would only be funny as the star of a snuff film. I had to get another shipment of my "lifeline" just to not give up hope on humanity and end it. His mother must have a huge amount of juice in Hollywood just to keep him off the streets downing his 40 ouncers.

AustinMacApr 20, 20080Honestly, this might have been the worst excuse for a movie I've ever seen, and I've seen some pretty bad movies. The story, the screenplay, the "humor" and the acting were all so low quality that I am convinced that if I, with four dollars, tried to make a one man version of this movie, it would score higher on metacritic. I suck at acting, too.

AdamW.Jan 8, 20047This movie was pretty funny. I don't see what the big deal is. Critics and comedy movies don't mix, everyone knows that. Yes, this is no masterpiece, but I think it's funny and worth watching, not buying.

SteveE.May 10, 200510Classic Com. I don't undrstand how anyone could not like this film. The critics wouldn't know a good film if it picked a kipper off the floor and slapped them round the face with it.
-
-
KurtSMay 5, 20050Apparently, ratings of 2+ are attempts to imitate the humor desperately searched-for in the movie.
-
-
TheXenophobeAug 30, 20050You can't help but feel sorry for Stephen Baldwin, as he has to act alongside the crime against humanity they call Paulie Shore.
-
-
S.Oct 2, 20069Mr. Shore gives a mixed performance. He is unbearable through stretches of the film, and in others he nails some great jokes. Baldwin steals the show with how he plays a late-90s dope-smoking Californian slacker. The scientist who goes nuts isn't realistic enough, but is fucking funny. The premise is good for a bunch of mindless gags and nothing more. Sue me, I like this movie.
-
-
AlanB.Feb 10, 20068This movie, i felt, was made for pure entertainment. I found this film to be VERY entertaining, even if Paulie Shore plays the same character in every flick. Not all 'good' movies are entertaining. but entertaining movies are always good.
-
-
DavidG.Jun 3, 20060there are movies that are so bad that they are good, and this movie does not fit that category. A cartoon for 5 year olds with adult content.
-
-
JordanS.Jul 1, 200810fantastic movie. I think it will go down in history for it's pure genius, people will be quoting "shave the pooche" for the next millennium and dancing to "you can dance" in true biodome fashion.
-
-
MichaelL.Jan 20, 20107This movie was really funny, and the safety dance scene is the only thing I can remember from when I was 4 years old- I didn't love it, but It doesn't fail on any level, and these publications need to hire some people who weren't born and raised in a 50000 sq. ft. mcmansion to review these movies.

JonnyH.Mar 7, 201010Side splittingly funny! If you don't like this get yourself checked out a cried for the 1hour 30 it was so terrifically funny!

BlancoA.May 11, 20037I was actually pretty surprised to see that low of a metascore for this movie. It was FUN! The scene where Bud & Doyle break into the storage room & take hits of the nitrous oxide had me in stitches. The music was also great..."I want Candy," "Iron Man (to the Spider-Man theme)"...

MarkL.Jun 8, 200310Without a doubt, the most incredible filmic experience I have ever had in my life.
-
-
NoahG.Jul 1, 20030Oh come on! Everyone who has any remnance of human-like taste should find this movie to be one of the worst ever made. Those who do not see it that way need serious film opinion reconditioning.
-
-
LarryB.Jul 16, 200310Pauly shore's best movie ever!!!!!
-

EvanR.Aug 17, 20030Come on, this is pure dreck, the lowest of the low, appealing only to our basest senses.

JoloP.Sep 13, 200310Fucj all those snobbish critics,, for those of us who liked the movie....HELL YEH! this movie give me stiches, those critics should go listen to classical music or wipe their ass with a Harvard Review_ Pauly Shore is DEPUTY DEEP!!!
-
-
JasonE.Jan 1, 200410This is the funniest movie on earth. sciadic!!!!!
-
-
JasonS.Nov 26, 20040I saw this in the theater and the film turned upside down. No one realized it for 10 minutes. We were fortunate to get our money back.
-
-
DecepticonPomOct 27, 20040I was going to give this movie a 9 or a 10 but then I realised I was dreaming it was any good. Awful. Truly awful.

JaymzB.Jan 8, 20040I have the bad taste to have liked a couple Pauly Shore movies, Son-in-Law for one. I even liked his stand up. This movie is a flaming pile of suck and should be avoided.
-
-
ErloyJ.Jan 8, 200410Hillarious! Sheer stupidic brilliance! Funny movie, not as good as Jury Duty, but still worth many viewings.
-

BrickTopJan 8, 20040A crappy 'movie' by a crappy 'actor'

PedroS.Apr 19, 20040A true horror film. Even scarier than Deliverance.
-
-
HenryS.May 4, 200410This movie is really funny and if u don't think so then u have no sense of humor.
-
-
LaurenceH.Jun 9, 20040Come on. Stephen Baldwin is probably the worst actor ever. The humor is so cheesy... Forget it.
-
-
ChrisR.Jul 3, 200410This movie was hilarious, I love all of Pauly Shore's movies. The way he uses stupidity toward being a comedian.
-
-
AndrewM.Jan 12, 200510Awesome flick one of the best of all time!!!
-
-
HughM.Dec 5, 200510Terrific movie, has to be taken for what it is, if you don't like Paulie Shore then don't watch the film.
-
-
DoofyD.Oct 8, 20050So bad!
-
-
PhilT.May 6, 20051I tried to like it, I really did, but this movie just isn't that funny. When a comedy film has NOTHING else going for it it needs to be funny. I gave it a "1" because I liked the premise - the idea had promise, pity the execution was so poor.
-
-
ConnorK.Aug 19, 200510An amazingly complex film highlited by amazing acting, and deep, mind-probing themes. Pauly Shore's electrifying performance left me in tears.
-
-
jamieAug 28, 200510VIVA LOS BIO DOME.
-
-
ChrisM.Apr 7, 20069Retarded but funny. Sort of like dumb and dumber.
-
-
CarlosM.May 22, 20060Mindless and lame, I got the impression that these guys actually believed they were funny. The only reason I watched it to the end was the false belief that it could only get better.
-
-
JorgenP.May 7, 20067Look, the film is alright. It can't be all bad having Tenacious D (Jack Black and Kyle Gass) making a brief cameo appearence.
-
-
NickB.Aug 25, 20060This is the worst movie ever, step aside Blair Witch Project, step aside Troll 2, step aside Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, and make way for Biodome.
-
-
DavidM.Sep 22, 20060Not fit to be called a ''movie''
-

JimmyOct 8, 20070It got a 1.....and rightfully so.
-
-
RitaA.Apr 29, 200710Pauly Shore was a great actor and I love his movies. This movies will always be an alltime fave of mine right up there next to Encino Man! Enjoy a movie for what it is and don't be afraid to laugh.
-
-
AviatorsManJan 15, 200810This is one of the best movies ever. It is hilarious. Amazing plot sequence. I loved it and will always love it. Paul is my hero.
-
-
JasonA.Apr 18, 200810I love Pauly shores movies... i think hes just as funny as all the other actors/comedians out there. this movie was freaking hilarious. Hell, I'm watching it right now. ROCK ON PAULY!!
-
-
ARoMay 8, 200810Funny funny movie!
-
-
ChrisG.Nov 13, 20098I guess the fact that this has been voted as the worst movie prooves that opinions defer. I like Pauly Shore movies, and I rate this as one of his best. I found it quite funny and cool, which is more than most comedies out there. If you like Pauly Shore, Wayne's World, and these type of buddy movies go for it. That's my advice.
-
-
PhilpP.Oct 20, 20090I don't see how this movie can be enjoyable in the slightest, so anyone who gives this above a 3 must be half retarded.

timrJul 5, 20090Whoever gives this movie a 6 and above, are mentally incompetent and have no taste in humour or let alone what a good movie or comedy should be about!!!
-
-
JeremySSep 4, 200910Bio-Dome is something that takes a truly enlightened person to enjoy. I would say that only people who have converted to Buddhism, and then abandoned it for lack of profundity, and have become at One with the natural fractal flow of the Universal Tao will truly grasp the Eternal and Sacred Truths so humorously extolled in Bio-Dome. Hare Pauly Hare Pauly, Pauly Pauly, Hare Hare!
-
-
PaulH.May 11, 20030I had to put this in to lower the overall total from 7. Pauly Shore is horrible. Stephen Baldwin is horrible and he has 'crazy' eyes.
-

KristaM.Jul 8, 200310Stephen is HOTT!!!!

RabAlyAug 15, 200310This is a great movie. Screw the critics. Every time i watch this movie i get hungry for some cheetos.

JoeD.Sep 16, 20031How Pauly shore got a movie career is one of life's greatest unsolved mysteries.

AmandaT.May 15, 200410It's a great comedy movie.
-
-
MarcD.May 28, 20049It's really a travesty that the critics are so humorless as to make this the lowest scoring film in the history of Metacritic. I've seen it probably 20 times, and i laugh my ass off every time. It's actually very tightly scripted. Not a dull moment. SEE IT! (or make it part of a Pauly Shore marathon, with In the Army Now, Jury Duty, Son-In-Law, and Encino Man).
-

[Anonymous]Jun 14, 200410Great movie! One of my favorites!
-

JaciR.Jun 30, 200410How can u not like this movie? guys like it cuz come on they're typical guys! and girls should like it cuz Baldwin's obviously the biggest idiotic hottie there is! give em a break! the movie rocks!
-
-
BenJul 19, 20040If Metacritic's rating system had a negative scale, this lame-o-rama would land itself a -17. If there's anything less talented that Shore, it's probably phytoplankton.
-
-
JessicaB.Jul 9, 200410Man this movie was the best! How could you not love it? I was laughing sooo hard! BEST MOVIE EVER!
-
-
KimI.Nov 20, 200510This movie is the best movie that i have ever seen.....there will never be anything like it unless there is a sequel....which i believe they should do...because paulie shore and stephen baldwin are the two of the funniest men that i have ever seen.
-
-
AssassinJan 27, 200510Ths was the best and most influential movie ive ever seen >>> POLLY SHORE RULES.
-
-
GrahamM.Dec 7, 20050A terrible movie in its purest form.
-
-
LindseyMOct 7, 20050To all those who have given it a "10"... Pauly is that you? This guy was NEVER funny. Let's face it, if it wasn't for his mommy owning a comedy club he'd be working at McDonalds. I'm so happy he had his 15 minutes and is today washed up. Now if only Paris Hilton would die.
-
-
ILFeb 12, 20056I don't think it was so bad that it deserved to be the worst-reviewed film here. I remember being amused by it, being the juvenile, silliness that it was. I think it probably deserves a 5 but I thought I'd be kind and give it a 6.
-
-
MickT.Feb 25, 200510The best movie ever.
-
-
steve.Jun 16, 200510A tour de force! This film will change your life! a must see!!!
-
-
JoeyK.Aug 8, 20055Wow, it topped the all time low list. Seriously, this movie isn't THAT bad. I got some laughs. The humor isn't high level, and the premise isn't genius, and the acting isn't superb, and it's a really stupid movie, but honestly, it isn't horrible at all.
-
-
TylorG.Feb 27, 20066The movie was a strang, disturbing, and weirded out adventure with the charters and them selves
-
-
KevinJ.Apr 30, 200610For everyone who critiizes this movie...stop being so uptight. This isnt supposed to be anything but pauly shore and stephen baldwin going crazy....and they do a great job at that...even if you hate pauly shore you can finds laughs for just how stupid this movie is...i love it.
-
-
GordonM.Jul 24, 20060I saw this movie yesterday, and it is the WORST movie I have EVER seen!! I am disgusted about their effort, and at their lame jokes! I hope other people agree with me.
-
-
ChrisK.Aug 23, 200610this is the kind of movie that you either love or hate, i think it is amazing, all the haters are uptights and don't know a good movie when they see it. squirrly and stub are outstanding.
-
-
ChrisL.Aug 31, 20064A '1'? Really? An average of '1'? Uh... have these fellows done a side-by-side comparison with Baby Geniuses? Or, dare I say, Baby Geniuses 2? *Shudder*

0Thoroughly incoherent... A dreary fizzle. [12 Jan 1996, p.C12]
-
0Shore possesses only two talents -- his ability to assume yoga-like positions and fondle his own behind, and his mystifying knack for getting starring roles in bad movies.
-
20A potentially amusing comic premise -- dropping a pair of anarchic stoners into the spaced-out, sanctimonious world of New Age bio-dome enthusiasts -- gets submerged in a shower of witless gags and the feeble one-joke persona of MTV celebrity Pauly Shore.
