You know... it is pretty darn funny to me why people waste their time on here complaining about how bad a movie was! If you don't like it, great. Post your 1 rating and move on. However, people decide to dwell, leaving messages and posts about how completely terrible this movie is. Noting that the only way to enjoy it is while you are high. Don't you people have anything better to do. The only time I ever post on here is to leave praise for a movie. I figure if a movie is completely terrible, I will post my 1 or 2 rating and move on. Said movies don't deserve my time. Bio-Dome has obviously accomplished something if people are still complaining about it nearly a decade later.
So you think Pauley Shore is a crappy actor, great. Does that mean that this movie automatically sucks? NO. If you go into this movie not expecting much, you can't help but have a good time! The comedy in this movie is no different from any Sandler, Farley, Spade, or otherwise flick. This movie is all about having fun!
Try watching this on one of those weekend nights with group of buddies when you are in a retarded mood and I challenge you not to enjoy it. No, I'm not talking about getting high (I have never and will never "get high" and I still love movies like this and half-baked... sorry guys, there goes you stoner flick stereotype).
I love this movie, every time I watch it I see subtle things that stick out that make it even more enjoyable. Check out that midget towards the end when they are dancing to the "Safety Dance." That little guy is straight out of the music video... classic!
I gave this movie a 10 for sheer enjoyment. I can watch it over and over again still love it. Sorry guys, I'm not just some idiot "stoner" either... I love Citizen Kane, Kevin Smith Films, Dr. Strangelove, Brazil, and probably whatever other "smart" or "artsy" films you want to throw my way. Sometimes you people have to start liking movies on your own, for your own enjoyment, apart from what society, the AFI, or even this site tells you you should like. I'll leave you all with a few of my favorite parts in the movie.
-Breaststrokers...
-I'm a sherman tank!
-So... what you're really trying to say is...
-Let's get that mother-faulkner!
-I don't think he like the way you played with his coconuts...
-Is that laughing gas? No way...
-I feel like a duck billed platypus... quaaaack quaaack.
-Remember... here at Bio-Dome we strive on balancing homos, within the system.
Viva Los Bio-Dome!

No one thinks that this would ever get an oscar. It's just silly, and actually makes a point about the environment if you aren't too busy getting your panties in a twist. It's 90'stastic silly. It's fun to watch and more fun to make fun of, so just chill out y'all. Not to mention it gave some young actors a chance at the big screen, so just check your pretention at the door please.
I've seen this movie many times and every time i find something else to laugh at. It is histarical. Some of the subtle comedy throughout is missed and that is why it is important to watch it a few times. I'm actually going out to rent "Blue Velvet" tonight to further understand some of the content.
I'm happy to admit: I think Pauly Shore is a genius!

Admittedly, the scene where Bud & Doyle inhale laughing gas ala Dennis Hopper in "Blue Velvet" is the funniest spoof I've ever seen in a movie!! All in all, this was a fun, feel good movie, and yes, Pauly Shore does get VERY annoying at times, but hey, this is all just for fun. Shakespeare it ain't, but if you're in the mood for a fun, feel-good movie to watch on a lazy weekend, check Bio-Dome out! It also delivers wonderful environmental awareness believe it or not.
Not quite as bad as people make this film out to be. There are some genuinely funny moments in this film. Sure there's lot's of silly moments and "potty-humour" jokes which may only appeal to 16 year old boys but still these lame jokes are done in such a "light-hearted-let's-not-take-ourselves-too-seriously" way which still manages to amuse and make me chuckle! There are also several cameos from actors who are now doing really well but were pretty much un-heard of back then such as a pre-fame version of "Tenacious D"!!! I'm actually quite surprised at the low user rating of 3.8 when movies like "You don't mess with the Zohan" which is possibly the worst film ever made manage to get over 5.0!!!! Bio-dome is a great "swith-off your brain" type of film which shouldn't be taken seriously at all. So crank out the beers or the bong or both and just zone into the dome!
