    Great fun, interesting idea plays out very well. Animation sequenceds are very well drawn and have very clever gags. Has a lot of personality, both the voice actiong and the live-action. Not for all tastes; but very entertaining if you can handle it.

    Osmosis Jones is funny, very well acted, full of action and has enough biological truth to be called moderately educational. The gross moments are no more than the reality associated with a guy getting sick. The immune system is portrayed very colorfully, and though much is not good analogy (viruses are not lone wolfs, they, in fact, reproduce prolifically, white blood cells don't get approval from the brain, and so on) the framework is there: bad stuff enters the body and the immune system musters many defenses against it. I think kids will use this fun mental framework when studying the immune system in school and the real trick in education is to get their attention first. All ages will enjoy it. Little 'uns like the action and the characters, big uns get the knowledge-based jokes (which really go by too fast): the bus, destination "BLADDER" leaving the station, etc. and appreciate the story line.

    Osmosis Jones reminds me of...well...me. On the personal basis I worship this movie, but on the flat-headed basis it was sick and wrong. I watched it with my mother for the very first time about a month ago and now she says I'll get Thrax if my fork drops on the floor. It's contagiously funny in good and bad ways.

    To be seen by people who can distinguish the scientific truth for more clarification.

    This is one of my favorite movies. The humor is enjoyable for all ages, the animation is great, and the setting is very creative and sometimes pretty dark (like the scene where the anthrax burns the boat). Plus, I love the idea of science themes mixed with comedy and animation. It's really an underrated animated film, and one should definitely check it out!

    It may be one of the biggest animated bombs of all time, and also be loaded in pop culture joke after pop culture joke, but just having Bill Murray as in the leading role (sort of), those two flaws can be forgotten.

    While there's no denying that the film's animation is technically impressive and is sometimes quite clever, its inventiveness is frequently at the service of gags so distasteful that gag is the operative word.

    Should never have been released, not even on video. It should have been placed in a hazardous waste container, encased in concrete and dumped into the Farrelly brothers' septic tank.

    Cathartically disgusting adventure movie.
