Critics Consensus

The animated portion of Osmosis is zippy and fun, but the live-action portion is lethargic.

Nell Minow

Common Sense Media

Mostly animated PG film has gross-out humor, violence.

Rated: 3/5

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.

The ideas are there, hints of genius, but no one ignites them.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

It's imaginative, ingenious and dramatically flat. Still, it may satisfy his who will learn a lot about the nasty effects of junk food on the human body.

Rated: C+

Double Toasted

It sometimes lets its imagination cut loose in a fun way. But a lot of the movie is just puns, body humor, jokes...but some of the parts, they do very well with it...

I am not a fan of Osmosis Jones. I have never liked the film. I think it’s a really bad live action/animated movie. The idea is really dumb. You go inside Bill Murray’s body and it turns into cartoon animation. Bill’s character has some health issues and Chris Rock does the lead voice role of Osmosis Jones. Chris Rock was not a good fit as the voice role. His character has got a punchable personality. Osmosis Jones is the reason why I’m not a big Chris Rock fan. He is just so loud and obnoxious in a lot of moments. I just find him incredibly annoying in the movie. I wish the whole movie was a different concept. Have it be where both the live action and cartoon animation worlds are blended together and Bill Murray enters in the cartoon world. He joins up with Osmosis Jones and shoots a bunch of bad guys. If there was a better director and screenwriters and have someone else voicing the lead role like Harry Connick Jr. or other people then the film would be more successful. The gross out gags were so unnecessary to have which is what makes the flick disappointing. Overall, Osmosis Jones sucks hardcore. Not a good movie. I really hate the film.

Though some of the dialogue and animation can be weird, I think this movie does explain quite well about the costs of junk food, I like it.

Don't like the pacing, Bill Murray is kind of an idiot, The Animation is good, The Adult Jokes and Gross humor made me unfortable. The Relationships are fine. It's a fine movie.

Great movie with a fun plot. Some amazing science jokes. A lot will go over your kids heads as far the science jokes go, but they are great.
