Critic Reviews
Though the tale may fall short on imagination, the principal actors make Over Her Dead Body livelier than one would expect.
Read the full reviewConsider for a moment how this movie might play if it took itself seriously. Would it be better than as a comedy? I suspect so.
Read the full reviewFor what it is -- a romantic comedy about the rivalry between a jealous ghost and a flaky psychic for the love of a veterinarian -- Over Her Dead Body is not bad.
Read the full reviewThe result, while not horrifically bad, is as mediocre a motion picture as you're likely to find in a multiplex this season. It's tough to hate the movie because it doesn't generate enough emotion for that kind of passion.
Read the full reviewIn her imperfectly beautiful way, Bell suggests Carole Lombard. As a comedian, Bell is enough of a distraction that you can forgive all the inanities around her. And there are many.
Read the full reviewRudd's talents as a thinking woman's charmer are wasted -- as are those of amiable Jason Biggs in a weak variation on the pop theme of being a gal's gay best friend.
Read the full reviewIt's said that opposites attract, but for the brief period they're onscreen together in the dire comedy Over Her Dead Body, Eva Longoria Parker and Paul Rudd are one of the more bizarrely mismatched couples in recent memory.
Read the full reviewFor what is essentially a screwball comedy, Over Her Dead Body is surprisingly uninspired, a frothy concept that offers little satisfaction in the way of execution.
Read the full reviewEven the weakest "Desperate Housewives" episode packs more heat than this tepid romantic comedy-fantasy, whose basic plot gimmick has been done as far back as "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir."
Read the full reviewRudd is an underappreciated comic actor, and his line readings are the best thing in the film, but the bland role barely taps his talent. Amid the rest of the cast's one-note posing, his scenes with a parrot have a spontaneity and wit otherwise in short supply.
Read the full reviewSeriously lacks both romance and comedy.
Read the full reviewI like Longoria Parker on "Desperate Housewives" and truly believe she could have a career on the big screen if she promises to never again work with writer-director Jeff Lowell, who perpetrated this offense of a ghost comedy on her and on her otherwise gifted co-stars Paul Rudd and Lake Bell.
Read the full reviewOver Her Dead Body is to romantic comedy what Spam is to meat. But at least with Spam, you get cool packaging.

Really Good Movie
"I was laughing so much .. I couldnt stop ..Go and see it, its really good."
REVIEW FOR THE OVER 50 CROWD
"I thought this would be a light hearted comedy. Since I am a comedy fan I was anxious to see it. The movie insulted my intelligence. The "assistant" role was annoying that anyone would dare think he was funny. The lady who played the psychic was beautiful - - until she was in a scene with Eva then she looked frumpy. Eva played her part as an extention of Desperate Housewives but she was good - as good as she could be with the role she had. The guy just didn't fit the part or the role. Normally I don't agree with professional critics. I think they do not relate to what the normal viewing audience likes but this time I think they were too generous. Teenagers will probably like this movie but us "older" folks need to go see something else and wait until the video and a rainy afternoon."
EVA DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS CRAP
"stupid writing awkward performers hold out for better scripts EVA burn the dvd"
Good Movie - 4 out of 5 Stars
"Funny movie, but not as snappy and quick as the movie, "Enchanted" (I would give "Enchanted" 5 out of 5 stars)...but "Over Her Dead Body" still worthwhile and enjoyable. I liked this movie and recommend it."
EVA is a Diva...Funny
"I would rate this movie as more of a chick flick, but as a guy, I still enjoyed it. Very funny movie, and I thought Eva was very funny. I laughed alot."
REALLY FUNNY MOVIE!!!!
"I recommend this movie. I went with my boyfriend, and we BOTH LAUGHED ALOT. We BOTH enjoyed it. Eva Longoria is really great as an Evil Jealous Ghost, and I felt she stole the whole movie. GO C IT."
Great Movie !!!
"My sister-in-law and I loved this movie. Maybe it wasn't Oscar worthy but the critics were way too harsh. I guess that's their job though. I fell in love with the main characters and the story was very compelling. It was filled with laughs but it also had some sentimental parts too. I felt like clapping at the end because I enjoyed it so much. I can't wait until the DVD comes out so I can buy it."
WOW..ILOVED IT!!!
"WOW.I REALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE..IT WAS AMAZING!!!SERIOUSLY..GO SEE IT!!!!"
