The perfect pandemic film: Osmosis Jones

Movie recommendation for the weekend from Viviane
The perfect pandemic film: Osmosis Jones

Author: Photo provided by Warner Bros.

What is the one movie that the whole family can sit down to watch together, is still good after 19 years, and is about a virus? The perfect pandemic film -- Osmosis Jones.

Released in 1991, Chris Rock, Bill Murray, and William Shatner created a movie that is perfect for viewing on Saturday night, when you have caught up on all of the recorded episodes of Law and Order you have had sitting for months.

Rock portrays Jones, a white blood cell in Murray’s body, who attempts to catch a virus before it extends to the whole body. Not only is this film literally about a virus, but it also teaches us what we all have had to realize throughout the pandemic. Taking care of ourselves and one another is one of the most important things we can do in life. As the saying goes, we are #StrongerTogether.

Osmosis Jones is featured on HBO Max, Amazon, and iTunes.
