Summary: this film should've won an Oscar
Review: Perhaps "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" just didn't offer enough money to the great Pauly Shore for him to play the lead parts they had specifically written for him. What fools Tinseltowners be! Maestro Shore is most certainly an actor of the highest order, and all nonbelievers shall be proven wrong once they catch a glimpse of this highly underrated DVD.

Filmed on location at Shore's alma mater, Stanford University, "Bio-Dome" showcases a plot masterfully adapted from the eponymous novel by Charles Dickens, with stunning choreography to spare by Ang Lee. Though the screenwriter and playwright Tom Stoppard's complicated dialogue carries a bit like Shakespeare--no, more like Marlowe--there is not one viewer out there who will fail to grasp its lyrical brilliance. I cried the first time I watched this film in the dollar theatre; too bad my date left within the first twenty minutes, but she is all the less enlightened for it. Now I can relive the experience over and over and over and over again, as I have just resigned from my job so I can spend every day watching this colossus of a movie everyday, as often as possible.

Please do yourself a favor and buy this DVD. Your whole life will take on new meaning afterwards.

Summary: Opera, classical, serious film and HGTV loving Bio-Dome fan!
Review: Well Scott, I like what you call boring operas and I also like what you would probably call boring classical music, I also like rock, country, etc and I like serious Drama films like Citizen Kane, La Strada etc, but I also like crude humor and I like Bio-Dome and films like it, and to the guy who said that people who don't like Bio-Dome should just watch HGTV well I love HGTV and will gladly watch that channel and I will also gladly watch Bio-Dome too. Sorry people, just wanted to let some people know how wrong their stereotypical assumptions can be! I highly recommend Bio-Dome it is a very funny film about two dorky but likeable guys who accidently walk into the Bio-Dome thinking it's a shopping mall. Besides Pauley Shore and Stephen Baldwin I liked the obnoxious scientist guy, the one who totally went nuts and I liked the rest of the characters too but especially the bug guy and the female scientist played by Kylie Minogue.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Viva Los Bio Dome!
Review: A cult classic. Son-In_law is my favorite but this is a close second. Over the years I have watched this movie at least 30 times. When it comes to the party scene at the end it gets a little weak. Pauly and Steven Baldwin feed off each other like they grew up together. "Hey, Faulkner! Quit hoggin the KY!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An award winner, not a bomb!
Review: I read on a website that this film was rated as a "BOMB". That is the worst rating I've ever heard for one of the funniest movies ever. Non-stop laughs! Pauly Shore is a comic genius, and he shows it in this movie. If you're a serious comedy lover, this is a must-have DVD. So buy it here at Amazon!

Summary: It's Just Like Seventh Grade
Review: I watched 'Bio-Dome' under extreme protest. I didn't really expect much, but I had no idea how wretched it would truly be. Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin star as Bud and Doyle, two losers who inadvertently get trapped in the 'Bio-Dome' scientific research station and hilarity (allegedly) ensues. Adding to the agony is an early screen appearance by Jack Black.

'Bio-Dome' is essentially a glimpse of the hilarity that goes on in a seventh grade boy's locker room. Jokes about K-Y Jelly and flatulence abound, so if you think that is utterly hilarious, this movie may be for you. The only bright side to 'Bio-Dome' is this: it is the film that utterly killed Pauley Shore's screen career.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Makes Carrot Top Seem Handsome, and Adam Sandler Seem Funny
Review: I watched 'Bio-Dome' under extreme protest. I didn't really expect much, but I had no idea how wretched it would truly be. Pauly 'The Weasel' Shore and Stephen Baldwin star as Bud and Doyle, two losers (there's a casting surprise!) who, thinking they are going to a mall, inadvertently get trapped within a futuristic 'Bio-Dome' scientific research station, and hilarity (allegedly) ensues. This makes 'Chairman of the Board' starring Carrot Top look like a serious contender for an Academy Award. Adding to the agony is an early screen appearance by the mega-untalented Jack Black, as if Pauly and Stephen weren't more than enough to discourage you.

'Bio-Dome' is essentially a glimpse of the hilarity that goes on in a seventh grade boy's locker room. Jokes about K-Y Jelly and flatulence abound, so if you think that is utterly hilarious, this movie may be for you. The good news is this: this is the film that utterly killed Pauley Shore's screen popularity, so for that I say thank you to the producers of 'Bio-Dome' for making this pile.

Summary: QUIT HOGGIN' THE K-Y!!!
Review: If the Peace Corps is the toughest job you'll ever love, then Biodome is the stupidest movie you'll ever laugh at. Fewer movies are more deserving of MST3K Status!!! It's especially helpful when ("ah hum") in high spirits with friends. Shoulda won an Oscar for Best Fart Scene!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrible
Review: This was the stupidest movie I have ever seen. Pauly Shore is ugly and has no talent. I don't reccomend it to anyone. What a waste of time this movie is, if you could call it that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: yay for pleasant engaging fun!
Review: I have to recommend this movie because not only is it silly and fun and escapist, it also has a HUGE rewatchable factor to it. You can watch this movie many times and it never gets boring. The plot is simple (you probably know about it), but it's just the interaction between all the characters that amuse you. Pauly Shore really is very funny in this, but it's also hard to imagine anyone but Stephen Baldwin playing the goofy sidekick. Nothing in this movie is too demanding, and it doesn't matter where in the movie you start watching - it's just breeezy and fun.
