Summary: Be careful of what you eat...
Review: Frank (Bill Murray) is a slob of the highest order. His clothes are disheveled, his personal hygiene is awful, and his eating habits are -- well -- downright dangerous. On one occasion, Frank picks a dirty egg from the zoo grounds and eats it because it hasn't violated his 'ten-second' rule. In that egg, however, is a mean, deadly virus called Thrax (Laurence Fishburne) who intends to write a new page in medical history for himself and kill Frank in the process. Enter white blood cell detective Osmosis Jones (Chris Rock) and sidekick Drix, a super-hero-like cold pill, who set out to stop Thrax. A light-hearted movie, I would have said 'Osmosis Jones' would be appropriate for kids; however, some scenes are violent and intense enough to make me question that thought. Adults, however, may find some scenes amusing, but will probably think this movie is more for kids. Those comments aside, the movie may be able to make you think seriously about your eating habits; if it succeeds at doing that for you or for anyone, it must be praised.

Summary: Suitable Diversion, but Not For the Little Ones
Review: If you're into bodily fluids, this has to be the one for you. You've got urine, vomit, saliva, pus, snot, gastric fluid, doody, and a vengeful, house-cleaning culminating flatus, all available in one easy package.Shaft meets Cool World meets Fantastic Voyage, animated. A deadly virus finds its way into Frank (Bill Murray), a lovable slob and relatively recent widower. The virus, given the unintended yet timely name of Thrax, is very well animated, just bad enough, and very sartorially sophisticated. Thankfully, he is not the traditional over-the-top cheezy bad guy, and has got some bitchen dreads reminiscent of the alien hunter in "Predator." Thrax's is voiced by Laurence Fishburne, sounding an awful lot like an Ivy League Ice-T. Jones, our hero and cell on the job, voiced by Chris Rock, is the white blood cell-cop who's on the case. William Shatner is the voice of the self-involved and corrupt mayor of the body politic (ha). I liked Shatner's voice in this film, but for some reason I kept seeing Rip Torn-go figure. TV's Niles Crane, that is, Frasier's brother, David Hyde Pierce voices the role of the Mr. Spock/Data character, a nerdy, by-the-book, robotic cold pill sent in to partner with Jones. So you've got the animated cop buddy pic angle goin' on. At first encounter, Pierce as the cold pill doesn't work, but the character does improve as the film goes on. The film is more or less harmless, although a great deal of its best humor is lost on kids younger than ten, as they have no knowledge of the anatomy which forms the basis of the jokes. There are some funny gags for grownups down inside Frank, but they are too fleeting, too quick, almost designed for DVD playback. The live action sequences bring us back to the corporeal reality, but aren't that great. Molly Shannon does the same schtick she did on Saturday Night Live, and it was somehow rewarding to see her vomited upon and have a zit explode into her face. Chris Elliott was great albeit thoroughly unoriginal as Frank's co-slob worker.

Summary: Infectious villain, But its not a bad thing
Review: This movie was severely underrated. I truly enjoyed this movie, all twenty or so times I've seen it on DVD. I saw it once in theatres and loved it. It was the most original movie I saw in the 2001 summer. Chris rock's voice can occasionally be grating, but Thrax (Laurence Fishbourne) has a nice voice that sort of smooths over all the others. Speaking of Thrax, he is the most awesome villain I've seen for a long time. He is also the sexiest germ I've ever seen. His character is developed and just cool (Just look at those glowing fingers). Heroes are also ineresting, buddy cops Osmosis and Drix are stereotypical street wise cop and college boy, and yo'll love them every minute. Leah, a hormone and Osmosis' not so secret crush is also nice. She's not the typical damsel in distress, although she does sometimes ge in trouble, she never screams "Save Me!", instead she says. "What are you waiting for? shoot him!" (When taken captive by Thrax, little spoiler). All characters in the animated portion of this movie are clever and very well designed. The art work is original and very stylized. My one complaint about this movie is there is too much live action. Cheyne, Frank's daughter comes across as a bossy health freak. But she is probably supposed to be a little exaggerated. So, see this movie if you haven't already. It's got laughs, action, and the world's first leather clad virus. I love it!

Summary: Bile ain't always vile
Review: Osmosis Jones is funny, crude, disgusting, interesting, gross, educational, disturbing, informative, ... and entertaining. From B.O. and fart jokes, to understanding how (some parts of ) the body behave and react to germs, "OJ" delivers entertainment that never goes near mindless. My four-year-old demands it as often as Shrek, and peppered us with questions about the body all through the movie.
While Stanley Kubrick may have taken a different slant wth this one, Bill Murray is at his all-time grossest, and , believe it or not, leaves you wanting more of him. Jumping back and forth from real live actors on the outside, to cartoon germ-fighters on the inside, it's a buddy-cop film like Lethal Weapon...for the 12 and under set. The film crosses racial, ethnic and social barriers easily, and should help alleviate fears that some children have about 'sick' and 'infection'. You'll laugh, you'll cringe, you'll hold your nose sometimes... Rent it once; if your family likes it as much as ours, it will become part of your permanent collection.

Summary: Another victim of poor advertising.
Review: If you're like me, you probably saw the previews for this film and thought that it was another unnecessarily dumb animated feature with stupid lines that were written solely for the purpose of putting on a T-shirt and marketing to six year-olds. But actually, this movie is a unique comedic gem, and is unexpectedly clever. For example, if you were to watch one of the trailers, you might see the part where a little green germ says "Oh, no, not again!" in an amazingly unfunny voice. From that clip, anybody older than 12 would probably groan. When viewed in the context of the movie, though, the line is actually funny. As everybody else who's written a review will tell you, the animated scenes are far better than the live action sequences. I'm hoping that if we all say it a lot, then you'll remember. The animation is absolutely wonderful, while the live-action scenes are merely average. The Farelly brothers, evidently, have a special talent to be heavy-handed and immature. However, these scenes are not so bad that they ruin the movie. They are somewhat enjoyable and not entirely bad. But when placed next to the adventures of Osmosis Jones, you might be inclined to hate them. If you aren't interested in buying the DVD (Though now I want to, since I've seen the movie) then you should definitely rent it. I'm positive that anybody with really low expectations will be delightfully surprised.

Summary: One of the best animated films EVER
Review: Very inventive, hilarious (albeit sometimes quite gross) and extremely clever. A shame it was marketed so poorly, where are the toys? BUY IT if you love animation. If you don't love animation, there is always Monsters INC.

Summary: Better than expected
Review: On a personal basis, I'd say that Osmosis Jones was better than quite a few of this years 'blockbusters'. In terms of entertainment, it even beats Harry Potter and Planet of the Apes. Of course, it's supposed to be that way, seeing as it's a comedy, but still.. I had more fun watching this than either of the aforementioned two.
The integration between the live-acting and the animation is near-seamless. The whole thing flows with ease.. unless one happens to be watching the live actors. Perhaps one enjoys the animation more after watching the pathetic character castings. I certainly couldn't sympathize with Frank (Bill Murray's character) and even his attempt at the end to make up for his blase acting is too little, too late. However, Thrax was awesomely played.. he literally sent shivers up my spine from the moment he first began speaking. Jones and Drix pull together well, and serve as perfect bouncing boards for each other's personality. For those hoping that this movie will have children coming away with a greater understanding of the workings of the human body, this movie will come as a disappointment. But those who expect nothing more than an enjoyable flick and fun time, ya'll will enjoy it!

Summary: FINALLY! A movie where bodily humor is actually necessary!
Review: Funny, clever, and beautifully animated, "Osmosis Jones" was unfairly overlooked in theaters. (Am I the only person who went to see it?) I'll take this over "Shrek" any day.

Summary: Osmosis who?
Review: Osmosis Jones is a rotation between live action and cartoon animation. Live action = Frank's dreary, disgusting, and boring life as a zookeeper and single parent. Cartoon animation = the fascinating metropolis of cells inside Frank. The live action of this movie (which constitutes about 40% of the film) is lame and dorky, and it's only purpose seems to drag the integrity of the film down. That's a real shame, too, because the world inside Frank is really fun. Though the story itself is simply good versus evil, it takes quite a big leap of creativity to twist it into everyday, bodily functions. Despite what others may have said, I found Osmosis Jones to be a unique, witty, clever, and humorous movie. Though there is a lot of bathroom (and adult) humor and a few gross scenes, this is a great film. Well, the cartoon part is great. The live action they tried to connect with Frank's insides is really down and out, and makes the show not what it should be. My advice: close your eyes through those scenes, because the cartoon world within is definitely worth seeing.

Summary: Close, but......
Review: Not a bad movie, but not, unfortunately, a very good one. The animated characters are OK, the villian in particular is very good, but the gross-out humour provided by the live action leads is unconvincing. I find it hard to believe that anyone like that that could get a job to be fired from in the first place. The ending is contrived and sentimental in the extreme.
However, I bought it, and I have seen, and bought, worse; so my verdict would be:-
Close, but no cigar this time.
