Osmosis Jones (2001) is good. Apparently that is an unpopular opinion. Add it to my list of me liking movies "no one else likes."

It's at least the best educational film I've ever seen.

It was a bomb and people don't like the live-action sequences, in which Bill Murray is a disgusting loveable jackass. Those were my favorite parts. There is another universe in which Bill Murray, Molly Shannon and Chris Elliot did a full Farrelly Brothers gross-out comedy, and I'd certainly go there for flies and ice cream.

I wonder if this was a movie that was just ahead of its time. Now, an irreverent mixed-media mashup comedy starring Bill Murray and Chris Rock would probably have a strong opening weekend, at least. I guess in 2001 we were just too busy with Moulin Rouge and Swordfish to fit this into our lives.

No this isn't from the Matrix. But God, did it want to be...

I know Osmosis Jones went through development hell, which never helps any movie, and by the premiere it was way too expensive. And I don't remember any marketing push for it. But I could be wrong about that. I may have been too distracted trying to figure out what the hell Swordfish was supposed to be about.

...I liked the part where Bill Murray chokes out a chimpanzee for an egg. Maybe I'm just old, but that kind of turn-of-the-century slapstick just tickles my funny bone.

There aren't even too many dated scenes here, which is impressive for this era. Exactly one Matrix reference, and Jones is gross to a woman for a bit. Oh, and Kid Rock does a rap. But it is in a party in a zit and then he explodes, so fair enough.

The soundtrack is a nice little pile of 20 year old hiphop and R&B nostalgia. Though it didn't sell well at the time. Probably because we were all busy buying the Swordfish soundtrack produced by Paul Oakenfold.

They also did an Osmosis Jones TV cartoon for a couple of seasons. I've never seen that so I don't know how many Matrix references it included. Probably at least one.

Hey speaking of Matrix references:

yayy face + lighting studies.

not as happy with the first one (it’s a bit more stylistic), but it’s a study so it’s ok.
