Terrific movie! I couldn't have thought of a better storyline. The acting was terrific, especially with Bill Murray as Frank. I love the humor. Chris Rock was perfect for Osmosis Jones. The direction was so-so. I rate this movie PG-13 for... Full review

A decent animated film that could have been funnier with the cast provided.....A sometimes clever, but mostly disgusting film thats casting for Bill Murray was one of the wisest choices made by the film makers.....This one has many sound effects, the problem is....The animation was pretty good.... ...

The result is an inventive little movie that's funnier and more alive, perhaps because we haven't seen it a dozen times already.
Luckily, his assistant (Brandy Norwood) is more conscientious than he is.

Osmosis Jones," a silly and gross combination of animation and live action, answers most of these questions in the affirmative.
Instead, while youngsters will probably like "Jones," I found it tedious at best.

While not bad enough to make you ill, Osmosis Jones is hardly a paragon of cinematic strength.
Despite its swagger of right now edginess, Osmosis Jones is merely a re-working of Warner Bros two most successful modern genres: the special-effects comedy and the buddy picture.

Chris Rock, as the film's title character, actually comes into his own far more successfully than his standup-modified role in "Down to Earth", but most of that might be better credited to the animators and the sound editors.
The funniest things in the film have little to do with the story and more to do with the premise (such as political promises to hairs falling out of Frank's head with new positions on the back) and numerous jabs at other films and genres.
