This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Jones is a disgraced police cell, living inside Frank's body and trying to protect it from intruders. With the help of his new teammate, a pill recently swallowed by their host, they must fight against a very serious threat who plans to kill Frank in less than 48 hours.Contrary to my expectations, this movie isn't totally animated as the series it's based on, Frank and his miserable life being filmed in reality. It wouldn't have been such a big fuss if the actors weren't completely retarded and unpleasant, playing stupid roles in a very bad manner. Not to say that it was gross in a lot of such scenes...The story is as linear, expected and simplistic as it gets, so you'd think that it can provide something through its animated part...Well it doesn't. It's animation is O.K. but nothing more, voice acting is sometimes off while the action is boring and mostly predictable, when it's not too stupid to endure. Thankfully they thought to insert some good music throughout the picture, making the experience a bit more "enjoyable".Maybe I had high expectations from this movie as the series provided a pleasant view for me as a child, but except the two main characters, it didn't have anything for me to enjoy. Unfortunately, as a whole, it's a big letdown which I cannot recommend to anyone.

When I first watched this film, I thought it was amazing. I have recently seen the film again and it was rather disappointing. The idea is still really good and if they'd re-film it, use more experienced people, I think it could be really good. Although the voice actors are people I really like, the performance was very poor. It all seemed to be too amateurish. Young kids, especially the boys, will still like it because it is rather disgusting. No really, it is absolutely disgusting. Under no circumstance watch this film if you are eating. It will take your appetite away.... at very least. The best thing in the film was Bill Murray, but it's a film he could have done without.

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, as always, and the animation scenes are obviously a work of love. 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-ability as an actor and a person.Those who "get" this film "get it", those who don't, chances are - never will.

This is the perfect movie to watch with your kids. In a very creative and funny way, the producers teach us a lot about our body through the adventure of Osmose Jones, a white blood cell, and Drix, a cold pill. Both live in Frank City, inside the body of Frank, who, despite his daughter's advises, isn't very hygiene and doesn't eat well. He catches a deadly disease and, along with other characters, Osmose and Drix fight against it in a very fun to watch adventure. If you like animation and biology you'll certainly like this movie no matter how old you are. Although the acting isn't great, the movie is mainly an animation so it shouldn't be a big problem.
