Bio-Dome

Jason Bloom – 1996 – USA

Two morons – Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin – dumped by their girlfriends for not being environmentally-conscious enough wind up trapped in an ecological experiment in the desert where biologists (obviously inspired by headlines of the day) have locked themselves in an atmosphere-tight dome for a year.  After wreaking havoc on the place they finally learn the importance of nature ‘n stuff and work real hard to restore the Bio-Dome.  They’re supposed to be college-aged slackers, presumably, but neither of the stars are exactly spring chickens.  Despite a couple okay laughs – (one involving the use of the ‘Safety Dance’ song as a torture technique) – the film is basically a failed attempt to create another dumb buddies franchise like Bill & Ted or Beavis & Butt-Head.  Watch carefully for the famous McCain brothers as the newsmen.
