a5c7b9f00b When Zoo worker Frank, single father to the young and bright girl Shane, swallows a germ-ridden egg, he gives billions of lifeforms inside his body much work to do. In the &quot;City of Frank&quot;, which has its good and its bad neighbourhoods, its own TV station, donut shops and traffic jams, the white blood cell Osmosis Jones is one of the many cops who try to keep up peace and order. Unfortunately, Jones seems to be the only cop in town who does not act by the book, but by his instincts. Even more unfortunately, his instincts don&#39;t work out that often, and so he causes more trouble than he does good. But with that germ-ridden egg comes a mortal danger: The evil and deadly virus Thrax arrives in order to kill Frank within 48 hours, just to get his own chapter in the medical books. Starting out with flu symptoms in order to deceive the authorities and the public, Thrax makes his way through Franks body. Accompanied only by &quot;temporary relief of symptoms commonly associated with flu&quot; cold tablet Drix, Osmosis Jones suspects that there is more going on than just a simple flu. Meanwhile, Mayor Phlegmming is much more interested in his re-election than in real problems and tries to keep trouble down. So, it is up only to Drix and Os to stop the &quot;red death&quot; from making Shane an orphan. Frank Detomello is a slovenly zoo keeper, and simple father to the only young and bright girl named Shane, who catches a cold right after he swallowed a germ-ridden egg! The inside of his body is knownthe &quot;City of Frank&quot;. An unlikely hero of a policeman white blood cell, by the name of Osmosis Jones, worksa member of Immunity cell. But with that germ-ridden egg comes a mortal danger: Osmosis discovers Frank has really contracted a villainous and black-hearted deadly virus knownThrax who arrives and is plotting to ultimately overheat Frank&#39;s body, killing him from the inside out! Thrax is motivated by trying to become the nastiest new virus, attempting to kill each new victim faster than the previous. His grandiose plan for Frank is death in 48 hours, breaking previous medical records! Meanwhile the pill that Frank took, Drix arrives in the body and covers Frank&#39;s throat with ice to cover the irritation. Osmosis Jones becomes his newest partner. Now it&#39;s all up to only Osmosis and Drix to put an end of Thrax&#39;s plans before Frank gets sick forever and Shane will become an orphan! Osmosis Jones is a very clever movie that was cleverly cast. With voices suchChris Rock, Brandy, William Shatner, and David Hyde Pierce, this film provides a chemistry in a cartoon that is rare. Bill Murray is funnythe scrubby Frank, whom all these characters make up his body. Very cleverly written and funny, with plenty of one-liners from Rock, Osmosis Jones is pretty much a good family film and very enjoyable to watch. 3 out of 4. This is one of those rare gems that gets better and better with each viewing. There are so many in-jokes and subtleties packed into it, that it is impossible to get them all with just one viewing. Each repeat viewing evokes a new and unexpected chuckle or grin. Best viewed on DVD so you can pause and review what you just thought you saw. (Does that sentence make sense?) Although the Live Action parts are rough around the edges. Bill Murray is genius,always, and the animation scenes are obviously a work of love. <br/><br/>The one drawback is Chris Elliot, who, no matter what project he is in, brings the whole production to a crashing bore, due to his complete unlike-abilityan actor and a person.<br/><br/>Those who &quot;get&quot; this film &quot;get it&quot;, those who don&#39;t, chances are - never will. The ideas are there, hints of genius, but no one ignites them. Add Osmosis Jones to that list of universal enigmas, and, more specifically, how the Farrelly Brothers could have done so little with so much.
