Hey all I’m back for this week’s Movie Monday with a movie that I forgot existed for a long time. It’s Osmosis Jones!

Plot: The plot is incredibly bad, and while I tend to love the Buddy Cop genre, even my love of it didn’t make me enjoy this movie at all. It’s use of both animation and live action was disorienting and off putting. The liberal use of gross out humor was also very much not my cup of tea.

Cast: The cast is just not able to pull off this movie despite having many big named actors take part in it, like William Shatner, Bill Murray and Chris Rock.

Cinematography: The live action scenes were okay, and the animation wasn’t all that bad, but the plot definitely dragged it down.

Music: The score wasn’t that impressive either.

Overall: A definite flop, which isn’t surprising since it bombed really badly in theaters. If you are incredibly bored it might be worth watching just to laugh at it.

For those who like: In all honesty I can’t recommend this to anyone.
