Osmosis Jones is one of Warner Bros. several animated films that failed at the box office. Some of those films were very good (The Iron Giant), others completely missed (Quest for Camelot). This one is sort of in the middle for my taste. Let me explain.
I feel the animated portions are fantastic. The city of Frank is gorgeous to look at, and the characters are well developed. The story is also very engaging, energetic, and fast paced. For a few Kid Rock fans, he makes a cameo with his posse in one scene. These parts alone are worth the price of admission. Which brings me to my main criticism...
The live action sequences are boring and uneven. I don't think the audience really cares about the live action scenes. They are obvious filler, they jut out like Excalibur in the stone. These scenes are only crucial at the beginning and towards the end of the movie.
Overall, I liked the animated portions of the movie but could do without the live action.
