1. This movie is gross. I don't know how you could eat popcorn or something during it.
2. It has some funny moments, but it's no laugh fest. (And it's David Hyde Pierce, not Osmosis Jones, who steals the show as the only really likable character.) It is not funny enough to be a real comedy, but not serious or dramatic enough to pull you in emotionally. It does neither adequately, and suffers for it.
3. The villain in it is kinda cool.
4. It is remarkable that the writers and directors of this film felt it was appropriate to mesh a lot of highly original and creative material (the "metropolis" of a human body, complete down to every nuance of its function and translated into animation) with a main character setup that is now so trite (the fast-talking, annoying inner city cop with a chip on his shoulder who plays by his own rules and doesn't follow procedure, paired unwillingly with the practical straight man or some other stereotypical partner who will get on his nerves.) Chris Rock as the mouthy, wise-cracking cop from the wrong side of the tracks.. Jeez. Enough already.
I had more than enough of him in Lethal Weapon 4. And Chris Tucker, too. (Same name, same voice, same routine, same kinds of movies. Talk about annoying, and I am not even certain that they are separate people.) The Lethal Weapon 4/Rush Hour/Rush Hour 2/Bad Company shtick has been done to death.
5. This movie had its moments, but overall it was a disappointment. Score: 5 out of 10.
