i dont know exacly whether or not you liked the movie, but I have to say it was slightly entertaining the first time I saw it, but just slightly. I must say, after seeing it against my will a second time, its the ONLY movie I've ever seen and really disliked. I even saw the last 10 minutes of Ecks vs. Sever and at least that was entertaining. Bio-Dome has its laughs, but if you can avoid it, do so.

Adam Sandler is great. I'll admit Bio-Dome isn't bad but it still has Pauley Shore. He's an annoying sack. The most irritating thing about him is that he gets tons of chicks. A sign of the apocalypse or the next anti-Christ? Perhaps.

meh, if a movie makes you laugh (because its funny, not because its bad acting or whatever) then its comedy. If you can watch an Adam Sandler movie and not laugh, your are either too dumb to get even HIS jokes, or you have no sense of humor. Sandler is funny in his stupid roles, but i like him in his average joe role, like Mr. Deeds. That movie was hilarious. Movies are not supposed to be like stand up comedy. But if you want stand up comedy, go watch Robin Williams. He is the funniest man alive.

I just left the Dazed and Confused board, came here, and in less than 20 minutes saw two different references to how stupid people are that laugh at Adam Sandler movies. This is completely dumb. How can you consider yourself so elitist as to be "above" laughing at dumb comedies? Who are these people trying to impress? I want to know who the people are that actually get impressed by elite intelligent comedy viewers who look down on Bio-Dome and Happy Gilmore just because they're about college burnouts who make fart jokes. Everybody has laughed at flatulence before, and everyone has laughed at dumb teenager stereotypes who say "What number are we thinking of, Bill and Ted?"."69!!!" before. Please stop lying to yourself and everybody else and lighten up.

"I want to know who the people are that actually get impressed by elite intelligent comedy viewers who look down on Bio-Dome and Happy Gilmore just because they're about college burnouts who make fart jokes."
I wouldn't put "Happy Gilmore" and "Bio Dome" in the same league at all. Your "college burnouts who make fart jokes" description certainly doesn't apply to "Gilmore" (by far Sandler's best film, and one of my favorite comedies).
I think the problem with "Bio Dome" is that once a genre starts with one filmin this case the "screwball slacker comedy"the offspring get progressively worse over the years. Though I'm not sure what one would credit as being the first "screwball slacker comedy," I know "Bio Dome" wasn't exactly reinventing the wheel.
Take "Airplane!" for example, which isn't a screwball slacker comedy but still serves to illustrate my point. That's one of the most shining examples of deadpan satire ever made. How many pale imitations have been made since then? I can't really think of any that have equaled that level of comedy. I'm not saying it's the funniest film ever made (it's certainly not), but it is probably the best film of its ilk. For some reason, execs have been throwing lame satires at us ever since, in hopes of striking comedy gold. For some reason, most of them feature Leslie Nielsen (the execs apparently fail to remember Nielsen played the straight man in "Airplane!," not an over the top goofball). It never works. If we're talking pure satire, some of Mel Brooks' early work deserves to be at the top of that list as well.
Anyhow, for what it's worth, I thought "Bio Dome" was easily one of the worst films I'd ever seen. I've always loathed Pauly Shore, but I think it wouldn't have mattered who was in that role.
The thing with comedy is that it's highly, highly subjective. Different people laugh at different things."Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day"

ALRECYCLER Thank you
It's about time someone gave bio dome a good word! I first saw this movie when it came out in 1996, and have seen it that many times that I practically destroyed the tape. Like someone said before, "This isn't supposed to be a stand-up comedy". It's 90 minutes of "STOOPID HA HA" jokes designed to make you say "you what!?!" So how about we give it a rest and lay off! If you want to bitch and moan, do it about something that really deserves it!
Just to rub it in Does anyone know when this is going to be released on REGION 4??
