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]

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 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.

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.
