Don't use ampersands instead of the word "and". It looks lazy. It looks especially silly to use an ampersand immediately after a comma.

Briefly, a group of people are sealed into a Bio-Dome which is ''supposed'' to be a miniature self-sufficient ecology, sealed off from the outside world. One of these people is played by PaulyShore. Allegedly, HilarityEnsues.

Somehow they managed to get hot girlfriends, Monique and Jen (played respectively by JoeyLaurenAdams and TeresaHill). The two girls are very interested in environmental efforts and quite fed-up with the two slackers' indifference towards it.
While traveling in the Arizona desert, our not-too-bright duo discover the Bio-Dome. A group of scientists is about to be sealed inside for a year for research purposes. The duo decides it is a new mall and enters just before the building is sealed. Now the scientists have to endure the many ways the duo are destroying the environment within the Dome, while the lady scientists have just met their new stalkers. Not that the guys want to cheat on their girlfriends, they act as if flirting with any attractive woman is obligatory. Sleeping with her is not. Among the few actually named scientists is Dr. Petra von Kant (Music/KylieMinogue).
