The plot of the film revolves around two clumsy, dim-witted slackers who whilst on a road trip look for a toilet stop in what they believe is a shopping mall, which in fact turns out to be a "bio-dome", a form of a closed ecological system in which five scientists are to be hermetically sealed in for a year. The film has themes of environmentalism, countered with scenes of substance abuse, sexual innuendo and toilet humour. The film stars Stephen Baldwin and early '90s MTV star Pauly Shore, and has some notable cameo appearances by celebrities such as Kylie Minogue and Rose McGowan. Jack Black and Kyle Gass, more commonly known today as the band Tenacious D, first came to global attention in Bio-Dome in which they performed together as Tenacious D on-screen for the first time. Although a commercial success at the box office, grossing $26,757,000, and also earning something of a reputation as a stoner film, Bio-Dome was universally panned by mainstream critics, some of whom named it as their pick for worst film. |
