	Author	Review
United States	Paul Clinton CNN	"Novice screenwriter Marc Hyman shows great promise and a wonderful sense of the absurd (...) [All the characters] make a fine comedy."	POS
United States	Robert Koehler Variety	"Underneath the formulaics, though, is an endlessly witty spoof of biology (...) The Farrellys pile one strikingly unfunny bit on another"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"[It] is likely to entertain kids (...) For adults, there is the exuberance of the animation and the energy of the whole movie, which is just plain clever (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Despite clever animation and energetic vocal performances, 'Osmosis Jones' (...) has an air of same-old same-old about it."	NEU
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"Fantastic. From the wacked-out production design, to the genius throwaway gags and insane characters, this may not be a Simpsons movie, but it's as near as dammit (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"[It] is often fun, and the rounded, blobby rendering of the characters is likable. But the picture tries too hard to be offensive to all ages"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tom Hutchinson Radio Times	"Above all, credit should go to Marc Hyman's script and to animation directors Piet Kroon and Tom Sito, as rarely have body parts been so funny (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
