Critic Reviews

Ethan Smith

Even with the low expectations any reasonable viewer brings to a Shore flick, this rates only stupid-plus. The bongs-and-pajamas set, though, should be riveted. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Non Credited)

A 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. Read full review

Leonard Klady

Neither the script nor direction lives up to the concept, and the picture evolves into a "Bio"-degradable hash rather than a zany sendup of potent issues and serious intents gone awry. Read full review

Bruce Diones

The sheer ineptitude of the movie is supposed to be funny, but there's no lunacy behind it: Shore and his writers are like comedians on Prozac, smiling through the fart jokes without a hint of desperation. Read full review

Hal Hinson

A nonstop moronathon... Bio-Dome offers a pants-load of poop and masturbation jokes, deviant innuendo and simian sight gags destined to gross out and offend just about everyone. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Thoroughly incoherent... A dreary fizzle. [12 Jan 1996, p.C12]

Craig Marine

This film may set an all-time record for shortest time between the big screen and your local video store. Read full review

If you had an 11 i would give it that, it was wonderful. I have never scene a movie sooooo funny. It also made me very sad and i found myself crying at some points. I don't know who the heck didn't vote for it but this movie should have won Best Picture because it will forever be If you had an 11 i would give it that, it was wonderful.

This movie is so terrible it is amazing. The irony is totally lost and the acting is awful, but I recommend this as a must-see for everybody, if not to enjoy it, to truly understand the epitome of a terrible film.

This 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.

A 1? Wow.... this movie is worse than all of the "Black people act unacceptable at typically white function" movies such as "Who's your Caddy" ? Your joking, I mean, the movie sucked - pretty badly, but how is it the worst of all time?

To 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.

all i needed to do was see 1 clip of the 2 main characters and they are the most annoying characters in history (besides jarr-jarr), and the jokes are painfully unfunny and sometimes offensive not just to the characters. and like rotten tomatoes said, this movie deserves to be locked awayall i needed to do was see 1 clip of the 2 main characters and they are the most annoying characters in history (besides jarr-jarr), and the jokes are painfully unfunny and sometimes offensive not just to the characters. and like rotten tomatoes said, this movie deserves to be locked away from society… Expand
