Osmosis Jones Review

Messages: In its own strange way, the film promotes healthy eating and living.

Role models: In the live-action sequences, Shane loves her Dad very much, in spite of all the mistakes he makes, and wants him to be healthy.

Violence: Cartoonish violence. During the animated sequences, characters get into fistfights, car chases, and gun battles between white blood cell police officers and green viruses dressed like criminals. During the life-action sequences, a character vomits on another character. A character fights a monkey for a hard-boiled egg after the monkey takes the egg out of his hand. Characters are killed and there is one apparent death.

Sex: During the animated sequences, personified male and female white blood cells passionately kiss, A personified male white blood cell talks to a personified female white blood cell about "hooking up," and the female white blood cell rejects him by making a masturbation reference.

Language: Not really an issue, but characters say the word "spit" as an obvious substitution for "s--t."

Consumerism: Not an issue

Drinking, drugs and smoking: During the live-action sequences a character is always shown smoking a cigar. This same character encourages a character who seems to be coming down with a cold to drink a beer as quickly as possible, which this character does. During the animation sequences, characters go into a bar that is inside of a pimple, where they drink drinks made to look like alcoholic beverages.
