Bio-Dome (1996)

An American comedy directed by Jason Bloom, starring Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin.
A pair of young men accidentally get locked in an ecological experiment with scientists for a year.
Not bad. First, a quick observation on Pauly Shore films. In this as well as Encino Man (1992), Pauly Shore plays an entertaining idiot whose best friend is just a plain idiot. I'm not specifying whether the idiot is Dave or Link. Maybe it's both. Regardless, the idiot friend has much less dialogue than Pauly. I'm not sure about his other films and should probably add them to my list. The plot of this film had many smaller branches shooting off from the basic premise. The characters were mostly shallow and static, but some of them did change a little bit. Camerawork and editing looked good to me, but I like the time period in film that this is from. Audio was mixed well and there was some variety to the soundtrack music. However, it was mostly mid-'90s pop songs that sucked and got overplayed. There was some bisexual innuendo to mention. The guys are in a car and talk about "going both ways". Given that they have girlfriends and are clearly in love with one another, it is believable. I rate it adequate just for being entertaining. If you haven't seen it, you might want to check it out, but it is listed among the worst films ever made.
