While on a road trip, slackers Bud and Doyle happen upon the opening ceremonies for the Bio-Dome. This environmental facility is controlled by five scientists, who will be hermetically sealed in it for a year. But before you can say "dumb and dumber," the two dolts, mistaking the Bio-Dome for a shopping mall, end up trapped inside with the researchers. Like bulls in a china shop, these simpletons create havoc every step of the way, annoying their brainy counterparts with crass humor and wild, destructive antics. Can the Bio-Dome be saved before Bud and Doyle completely demolish it? [More]

Despite the advances humankind has made since dragging itself out of the primordial ooze, Shore is a successful comedian.

Even with the low expectations any reasonable viewer brings to a Shore flick, this rates only stupid-plus.

All told, it's precisely what you'd expect -- which means you'd be well-advised to wait for the video.

It's not by any means inspired madness.

It's good for one reason: it killed Pauly Shore's career.

Can there even BE a "low point" to Pauly Shore's career?

Could possibly be the worst Hollywood movie I've ever seen.

Film school grad Jason Bloom makes his directing debut, but his inexperience shows.

If you must rent it, at least wait for a half-price night.

America faces the very real prospect that Pauly Shore is the most annoying comic alive.
