Though they can be harmful to the organisms that they infest, they aren't biologically programmed to just cause their host as much harm as possible. They infest a host's cells so that they can reproduce by multiplying and spreading throughout its body--any harmful symptoms are simply side-effects of this, and killing the host would simply kill the virus in the process. If Thrax actually behaved like a virus, he would have spent the movie making an army of Thrax-clones or pulling GrandTheftMe on cells à la ''InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers'', not trying to kill Frank by stealing his hypothalamus.

2001's ''Osmosis Jones'' is a [[BuddyCopShow Buddy Cop Movie]] featuring Chris Rock and David Hyde Pierce. The two are paired up to stop a nasty criminal (played by Laurence Fishburne) from destroying their beloved city, hindered by a self-centered mayor (WilliamShatner), whose assistant (Brandy) is the main love interest.
Osmosis Jones is a white blood cell (voiced, humorously enough, by a ''black'' man) who lost his reputation after a nasty incident that happened to ruin Frank (the human this movie takes place in, played by BillMurray) out in the real world. Frank eats a contaminated egg that happened to carry a deadly virus by the name of Thrax, whose goal is to kill Frank within 48 hours. After Thrax starts doing some damage, Osmosis is paired up with a cold pill named Drix. The two clash frequently, as most new cop partners do in movies, until Drix sees Thrax himself, and takes Ozzy's side. Meanwhile, while all this is happening the animated world of the City of Frank, we get a few peeks at what Frank is going through, in the live-action sequences of the movie, trying to care for his health-conscious daughter Shane.
Body jokes abound, and there are a couple of rather...[[NauseaFuel disgusting]] live-action scenes, but the movie itself is not bad.

[[caption-width:290:He's one ''[[JustForPun cell]]'' of a guy!]]
Alrighty then, let's see if we can keep this from being gross...
2001's ''Osmosis Jones'' is a [[BuddyCopShow Buddy Cop Movie]] featuring Chris Rock and David Hyde Pierce. The two are paired up to stop a nasty criminal (played by Laurence Fishburne) from destroying their beloved city, hindered by a self-centered mayor (WilliamShatner), whose assistant (Brandy) is the main love interest.
Osmosis Jones is a white blood cell (voiced, humorously enough, by a ''black'' man) who lost his reputation after a nasty incident that happened to ruin Frank (the human this movie takes place in, played by BillMurray) out in the real world. Frank eats a contaminated egg that happened to carry a deadly virus by the name of Thrax, whose goal is to kill Frank within 48 hours. After Thrax starts doing some damage, Osmosis is paired up with a cold pill named Drix. The two clash frequently, as most new cop partners do in movies, until Drix sees Thrax himself, and takes Ozzy's side. Meanwhile, while all this is happening the animated world of the City of Frank, we get a few peeks at what Frank is going through, in the live-action sequences of the movie, trying to care for his health-conscious daughter Shane.
Body jokes abound, and there are a couple of rather...[[NauseaFuel disgusting]] live-action scenes, but the movie itself is not bad. The way it stands, it's either [[YourMileageMayVary funny and sadly underrated, or disgusting and unappealing]]. It spawned a somewhat popular spinoff cartoon called ''OzzyAndDrix''.
-----
!!Tropes:
* AnAesop: Watch your health, at least for the sake of your loved ones.
* AnIcePerson: Drix's painkilling abilities are represented this way. Inevitably, this leads to the line "[[HumanPopsicle You just iced my witness]]!"
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Thrax goes after the Hypothalamus, causing his poor victim to undergo heat death. On the cellular level, this is represented as ''the city burning down.''
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Also counts as GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
-->'''Osmosis:''' "What you talkin' 'bout? I'm a legend, girl! Chicks line up to divide with me!"
-->'''Leah:''' "Oh really? Because to me, you look like the kind of cell who mostly divides with himself."
* ApocalypseHow: Well, while Frank's death wouldn't even make a dent in our society, for the ''cells'' it'd be a Class 6. And there's your FridgeHorror for the day.
** Also with the way Thrax is hellbent on killing as many humans as possible, as quickly as possible, it could be a class 1 or 2 for the outside world if he escaped Frank.
** Here's another bit of FridgeHorror for you: when [[spoiler: Thrax]] died in the beaker of alcohol, that's what happens to ''every germ on your body'' whenever you use hand sanitizer. Yikes.
* BadassLongcoat: Thrax.
** It's also practical: he can spread it to act as wings or a [[ImprovisedParachute parachute]].
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Frank's subconscious definitely counts.
* ButNotTooWhite: Drix, played by David Hyde Pierce. The producers were ''looking'' for someone as white-bred as possible. [[{{Frasier}} Niles Crane]] is about as white-bred as you can get.
* ByTheBookCop: Drix.
* CaptainErsatz: Drix bears a strong resemblance to IronMan
* CassandraTruth: Osmosis is the only one who knows about Thrax's plans.
* ChekhovsGun: When Thrax is destroying the saliva boat, he's humming [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIQGwRniyNo "Fever"]] , which gives you [[spoiler: his method of killing making this a classic use of this trope]] .
** There's also [[spoiler: Frank's allergy to pollen pods]].
* CoolCar: Thrax's car.
* CoversAlwaysLie: Due to contract issues, the Farrelly Brothers (of ''DumbAndDumber'' fame) are listed as primary directors. They only did the live-action footage, and didn't have any input on the animation and script.
