Bio-Dome

Bio-Dome is a 1996 American comedy about Bud and Doyle, two slacker friends whose environmentalist girlfriends are fed up with their mess and their attitude. When the pair stumble into a sealed scientific facility in the Arizona desert, they end up trapped inside a year-long experiment alongside a team of researchers. The dome is meant to stay closed for the duration, so the scientists cannot simply let the two intruders out without ruining the project. Bud and Doyle's presence quickly disrupts the carefully controlled study.

The film was directed by Jason Bloom, the first of the two features he has directed, following Overnight Delivery in 1998. Kip Koenig and Scott Marcano wrote the screenplay, and the cast is led by Pauly Shore as Bud Macintosh and Stephen Baldwin as Doyle Johnson, with William Atherton, Joey Lauren Adams, Teresa Hill and Henry Gibson in supporting roles. Forty actors are credited.

Made for 15 million dollars, Bio-Dome took in 13 million dollars worldwide, less than its production cost. On IMDb it holds a rating of 4.4 out of 10 from about 32,000 votes, and on TMDB it sits at 4.6 out of 10 from roughly 425 votes. A critics' rating of 2.7 out of 10 from 27 reviews places it below even those audience scores.
