If I were to go back in time and find out I wanted to see this movie in my childhood years, I would've told my younger self to not waste my breath, and that I wasn't missing a thing.
"Osmosis Jones" is, as the title of this review implies, is a complete and total embarrassment; From the first scene, to the second the credits roll.
It is, without question, the worst movie I have ever seen from Warner Bros. And one of the worst films to come out of the early 2000's.
Bill Murray makes a total man-child out of himself in this. He plays Frank, a man who cares more about being unhealthy and eating junk food than he does for his own daughter, Shane; who, by the way, is one of the few decent characters in this cinematic disaster... Which brings me to the biggest problem it has to offer.
"Osmosis Jones" is a live-action/animated hybrid. Why do I find that reason to be a big problem? Because the two just do not mix well, when it comes to this movie. They show too many live-action segments, and when they show the animated sequences, the latter takes up half the runtime.
The filmmakers should've filmed it entirely in live action or just scrapped the idea to make it a hybrid and turn it solely into a cartoon, but NO.
You wanna know what other movie was a live-action/animated hybrid, yet it actually worked and was enjoyable? "Space Jam." It did this concept so much better and wasn't a boiling pot of bull crap, like this movie is!
Now, onto one of many complaints I have with this film; The gross-out jokes. The jokes are nauseating and not funny, whatsoever. Not once, did I laugh or even remotely crack so much as a smile.
Like I said at the beginning of this review, Bill Murray makes a total fool out of himself and his acting is HORRENDOUS. He acted like he didn't give a single crap and wasn't trying at all.
His character is the most unlikable idiot you will see on screen; including Mayor Phlegmming (voiced by William Shatner).
The entire screenplay is a jumbled, contrived mess with barely any character development in it. The only character that has at least SOME redeeming qualities, besides Leah, Drix, Thrax and Shane is Osmosis Jones, himself (played by Chris Rock).
The voice acting is fairly decent with Chris Rock leading the cast as the titular character, David Hyde Pierce, Lawrence Fishburne and William Shatner, but even they weren't able to save this train-wreck. The poor actors just wanted to grab their paychecks and run. Honestly, I don't blame them in the slightest.
Finally, the animation is great; However, once again, it barely saves this movie from falling flat on its face.
In conclusion, "Osmosis Jones" is a terrible, poorly-written excuse of a movie that has little to almost noting going for it. At least, it was the inspiration for "Ozzy & Drix;" a version that was more intelligent than this. Do whatever you can to avoid this film, at all costs. It's not worth it.

I practically ate the original 1996 show up like candy as a young child and to see it in this form is beyond believable.
Joshua Dela Cruz does a good job of being the host, and he has almost the exact same enthusiasm and charisma that Steve had. That attribute alone is a perfect example of how good this reboot is. The animation on the characters may take some time to get used to, but trust me, it is totally worth it.
Not only is this show adorable and colorful to look at, but it brings back memories of my love for the original Blue's Clues. Some episodes from were remade for this new series, and does it botch it up? Absolutely not! The show presents the original in a way that'll bring back the old audiences who used to watch the previous cartoon.
Without question, Blue's Clues and You is a reboot that adults, as well as children, can enjoy. I highly recommend this new series.

I had never seen this movie in theaters due to lack of interest, but after discovering it on Netflix a couple days ago, my curiosity was immediately peeked, and I decided to give it a chance and watch it. I have absolutely no words. "Coco" is, without any doubt, whatsoever, a masterpiece of a film and the best one Disney and Pixar's made in decades.
The characters are the most sympathetic fictional beings you will ever see on screen; especially Héctor. You are gonna fall in love with all of these characters. The songs, animation, voice acting, morals and writing are brilliant. Seriously, this movie has everything an animated movie SHOULD have; Characters with immense likability, through and through, moving, catchy and emotional songs, the list goes on. Not only does "Coco" have things children will enjoy, but it has material adults will love, as well.
I could put up many reasons why I think you should see this movie, but be warned; It is bound to make you cry, at points, including a certain plot twist and ending, which I refuse to spoil. After I watched it a couple times, it instantly made me bawl like a baby. I have a very sensitive heart, and this movie ripped it out and showed it to me, full throttle. The plot is handled with such care and love, you won't be able to stop watching. Once the film becomes an emotional and bittersweet rollercoaster ride, and my goodness gracious, does it ever, you feel a sense of peace and happiness shortly afterwards. I thought "Fluke," "Titanic" and "Finding Nemo" were the only movies to make me cry buckets of tears, but "Coco" managed to break that scale.
Without question, "Coco" is arguably the greatest Disney movie I ever watched. I've grown up with Disney, all my life and this should be up there with "Pinocchio" and "The Lion King" as their crowning achievement. I have nothing more to say in this review, but the following; I advise anyone who hasn't seen this movie before to watch it. Trust me, it is totally and completely worth it.
