Alicia I love this movie so much

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

wtmerrett I watched this stinker to see how the ghost was handled. The answer is very badly. Eva Longoria is a horrible actress and brings all her wooden skills to bear in this mess of a movie. The writing was terrible as was the direction. No surprise it was the same person doing both jobs badly. Lake Bell is not able to deliver a line with any kind of real emotion and this makes it painful to watch her act. I hope she had some success as a model as that is what she should be doing, not acting. This film left me feeling that the entire crew were all getting their 1st job in the business in this movie. It surprises me that Paul Rudd agreed to be in this. He must have been paying off a bet and didn't get to read the screenplay first. I watch a lot of movies and worked in the business for years so do have a good handle on what works and what doesn't. I can't say enough about how bad this is. Do not torture yourself with this nightmare.

Davis P Over her dead body starring Eva Longoria and Paul Rudd is very formulaic, it follows the usual expected formula of a film in this genre, doesn't miss a beat. There are a couple funny moments and lines, but it's really only a couple, the movie is not consistently good or funny. That's the film's biggest issue, not being consistent. Eva longoria was pretty enjoyable in her role, I liked her. I didn't really care for anyone else lol. I though Paul Rudd and Jason Biggs and lake bell were actually kinda annoying here, did not enjoy them at all. I didn't think Paul had any good chemistry with Lake either, another issue I took with the movie. Like I said, there are some funny lines and moments, all thanks to Eva Longoria. She is what got this movie a 5, without her it probably would've been like a 3, never underestimate good casting. Jason Biggs and his character was just unnecessary and irritating to be honest. There were some long moments of unfunny situations that were meant to be funny and create some laughter, but they tried and failed, them they stretched out the failing scene, which made it worse. A 5/10 overall for Over her dead body.

elshikh4 Since (The Philadelphia Story – 1940) I think, a sub-genre in the romantic comedy has been born. A person is torn, one way or another, between 2 lovers, especially before the moment of marrying the recent one of them. The old, mostly angry, lover did change along the years : a once-dead then-alive first wife (Move Over, Darling – 1963), a whimsical, already ghost, husband (Kiss Me Goodbye – 1982), a noisy young lady (My Best Friend's Wedding – 1997). This round, it's once-dead then-ghost noisy young lady (Eva Longoria).While having basically nice elements, it suffers from overweight and many lost chances. To instance : it develops a war between the old and the recent sweethearts, but what a weak war that is ! The ghost has magic powers, but they weren't many or creative; at one point she went to torture her opponent by non-stop talking ?! Speaking about talking; this has to be the most bigmouthed comedy ever made. It relies on conversations, LONG ones, more than the ironic image. So how about the conversations not being that ironic in the first place ! The character of the sister (played by Lindsay Sloane) was an original windbag; I felt like they had to increase the size of her role, and the time of her scenes, because she's related to the producer or something !The comedy overall wasn't right (did the hurly-burly at the lead's clinic interest you ?!). The pace is wasted with weak games. I don't recall one hilarious moment or cinematically amazing scene. It's merely the surprise of Jason Biggs's character. Moreover, the uncharismatic cast added more to the uninteresting nature of the whole thing. (Lake Bell) and (Paul Rudd) are cute but maybe for minor parts. I couldn't stand them all through it, despite useless moment like when they forced (Bell) to take off her clothes only to assure that she has *talents* ! And it's enough pain when a wonderful comedienne I adore, like Eva Longoria, who established herself in a TV show such as (Desperate Housewife), does a movie where she gives no laughs in it !(Over Her Dead Body) is not bad; it just has some wrong matters. From the endless chatter, to tries to laughing like farting endlessly by (Longoria)'s character !

rowiko The plot sounds interesting enough, and I was looking forward to seeing Eva Longoria Parker outside of her usual "Desperate Housewives" role. The funny thing is that her character is actually not that different from her character in "Desperate Housewives".I found the first half hour a bit slow, to be honest, and the whole movie a bit flat at times, although there were some good scenes that made me laugh.It does pick up pace towards the end, and it's probably the last 15 minutes or so that made me rate this higher than I would have earlier on.I guess it's a nice enough movie and probably what one can expect. It's certainly no award-winning flick, but then I guess it wasn't meant to be.
