Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly, the impish impresarios of gross-out comedy, take their body function-inspired humor to new extremes in this mixture of live action and animation.

Critic Reviews

  • , Time Out

    The plot's so much old rote, and the characters have all the personality of protoplasm; but the anthropomorphising of this microcosmic metropolis is wonderfully imaginative, and the dialogue decidedly spiffy.

  • Bill Wyman, Salon.com

    Remains stubbornly one-dimensional.

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post

    It should have been placed in a hazardous waste container, encased in concrete and dumped into the Farrelly brothers' septic tank.

  • Norman Wilner, Toronto Star

    The animated sequences in Osmosis Jones are funny and clever and thoroughly entertaining, with plenty of lively imagination on display in the transposition of a 1970s cop movie to the inner workings of the human body.

  • Mark Rahner, Seattle Times

    A very clever, very gross, very funny spoof of the clichéd cop genre.

    Osmosis: Yo! You see this badge? You see this gun? You see this gooey, white saccus membranous 'round my personhood?... Well, you dealin' with a white blood cell here! I should be out in the veins, fighting disease, not in the mouth on tartar control.  "He's one… More

    Clever, funny, a little too gross, but still is a pretty good animated film, not Bill Murrays funniest role though.

  • Matt G


    Very underrated. Enjoyable comedy and great animation.

  • Dead A


    The story was good. Very <i>educational</i>. Made me more careful about food hygiene to be honest (although I wouldn't eat an egg that has a monkey's saliva on it... ewww!). I liked the cartoon. And I hate Bill Murray. He was purely disgusting (I don't know… More
