Over Her Dead Body movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: You may remember Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. This is Bleh Spirit. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: This stale comedy about a vengeful ghost would be depressing if it weren't so disposable. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: The kindest context in which to put Over Her Dead Body, which was written and directed by Jeff Lowell, is that of a training film, a public display of people trying to master their craft. The best way to see it is not at all. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: Unfortunately wit-deprived. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: Writer-director Jeff Lowell could have gone many different ways with this idea -- the screwball comedy of Heaven Can Wait, say, or even the wistful, unabashed romanticism of Ghost -- but he takes the low road more often than not. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: The line is fine between cute and annoying. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Over Her Dead Body is to romantic comedy what Spam is to meat. But at least with Spam, you get cool packaging. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: For 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 more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: An unsurprising entry in that hoary micro-genre of romantic comedies to feature a fresh-from-the-corpse disembodied spirit who just can't seem to get a move-on. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: This is a film that's completely happy being its silly little self. And if it produces some giggles along the way -- and it does -- it has done its job. Read more
Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: Lowell has little to say about loss and love. But there's a talking parrot, and on some days, that's enough. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Even the worst movies are capable of bending the laws of time. Still, there's something really special about the way Over Her Dead Body makes its 93 minutes seem more like nine hours. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Over Her Dead Body itself is a movie haunted by the annoying, humorless performance of Eva Longoria Parker. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: The worst night at the movies in this young year. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Over Her Dead Body, billed as a romantic com edy fantasy, is in reality a mystery: The Case of the Missing Jokes. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: A wan, sad-eyed romantic comedy. Read more
David Germain, Associated Press: Everything about the movie is as clunky and unimaginative as the title. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: A one-eyelash-above-average supernatural rom-com. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: While not horrifically bad, it's as mediocre a motion picture as you're likely to find in a multiplex this season. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Consider 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 more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Over Her Dead Body may be the worst romantic comedy I've ever seen, although I hesitate to make such a resolute pronouncement about a movie that's so barely even there. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: The grating presence of Longoria Parker will be enough to ruin the movie for many, but she's just one of many shortcomings in this romantic comedy, which seriously lacks both romance and comedy. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Unlike its stubborn corpse bride, Over Her Dead Body will decompose quickly in the memory before fading forever into video oblivion. Read more
Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail: A comedy like this needs actors with crack timing, a script that's worthy of them and an overall spirit of effervescence. But save for Rudd's occasional displays of sarcasm, there's little here that raises a smile, never mind a chuckle. Read more
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: Writer/director Jeff Lowell settles for a story that takes a little too long to tell, concocted situations a little too implausible to buy and repartee that occasionally hits the dartboard but never gets close to the bull's-eye. Read more
Dennis Harvey, Variety: What's really spooky is that even the weakest Desperate Housewives episode packs more heat than this tepid romantic comedy-fantasy. Read more
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice: This is no career high, but it's impossible to actively dislike Rudd. Read more
John Anderson, Washington Post: None of it makes sense -- logically, emotionally or dramatically. Read more
