Osmosis Jones

[Ono]

Got and watched this DVD yesterday.

For those who don't know it's a Farrelly Brother directed cartoon about the workings of the human body.


I must say that I found this film to be clever, well made and very funny. Not all the jokes were full on gross out ones (as you expect from the directors) - but there are lots of visual gags and subtler moments. I have not doubt this is because this film is also aimed at kids from 10 upwards.


I don't want to give too much away but it plays very similar to a buddy movie ( Lethal weapon, Rush Hour) and has a bad guy germ called 'Thrax. (Hmmm....maybe that's why it didn't do well in the States!).


The disc is your average Warner Affair with Docu, deleted scenes, trailer and music vid along with a commetary by the Directors.


Picture is first rate (as you expect from cartoons these days) and the DD5.1 sound is used very effectively to convey the bodily functions!


Highly Recommended.

Which directors feature on the commentary the farrelly's or the animation guys???.

The Farrelly's are pretty dire when it comes to Comms.:(

Looks like a good movie though.

No it's not a Farrelly brothers cartoon. The rather lame live action bits which were bolted on at the last minute by some rather clueless studio heads were the Farrelly Bros bits.

( The studio got cold feet about the film half way through it, changed the script so it was more kid friendly and decided the live action parts would be a good idea. thus ruining a potientaly intresting film. )

I still found it to be a funny and well made film.

I thought this was excellent. My favourite Farrelly Brothers film IMO.

...And it's still not a Farrelly Brothers film.

I forget the name of the show Ozzy & Drix I think but the film was turned into a series with the two main characters from the film being transplanted into a 10 year old boy after a moscito bite.
