I have to admit that Over Her Dead Body actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting, my mom wanted to see it, so I rented it. I figured just to go ahead and see the horror before my eyes, but actually this wasn't too bad. I was just expecting this horrific movie, but it seems like the writers meant no harm, but the casting of Eva Longoria(Parker, sorry),she seems a little off set for the movie. I think I may have found it to be a little better without her, just she does annoy me. But Paul Rudd and Lake Bell had a decent chemistry that made the film somewhat likable. But you have to admit, there was no point to this movie, it was one of those quick paychecks for the actor type of thing. The movie could've been funnier if someone had really paid attention to it and had a better cast.

Henry just lost his bride to be, Kate, who was killed by an ice sculpture on their wedding day. But when his sister takes him to a psychic, Ashley, Henry falls for her, but Kate is haunting her from beyond the grave. Kate is jealous and doesn't want Henry to move on so quickly and she will make sure that Ashley doesn't get him by torturing her day and night with her rambles, believe me, with Kate's voice, that's scary.

Over Her Dead Body is an alright movie, not sure if it's worth the money, but I'd give it a rental for you if you want to see it or are curious. Eva Longoria just doesn't have enough star power to make the film work, no offense to those who love her, she just belongs on the small screen over the silver screen. Not to mention the character of Ashley, she seems still not too likable with everything she pulls, or her "gay" friend, Dan, just again, not really likable. Just with some re-writing and proper attention, this film could have been better, but instead we get the average predictable romantic comedy that will leave with with an empty feeling.

4/10

... but you have to wonder about Paul Rudd's character, Henry. Henry is a veterinarian whose fiancée, Kate, dies on their wedding day in a freak accident involving an ice sculpture, partially caused by Kate's being argumentative.

So a year later and Henry is still moping around. His sister plots to get psychic Ashley (Lake Bell) to read Kate's diary so she knows some authentic information about her so Ashley can convince Henry that she is authentic, and then send him a fake message from beyond that tells Henry that Kate wants him to move on with his life.

But faking Kate's voice will not be necessary as her ghost is back on earth, after another argument in the afterlife causes the angel who is supposed to tell her why she is being sent back to earth just throws up her arms and walks out. So Kate's spirit is aimless on earth, other than knowing she does not like seeing Ashley and Henry together.

The movie is largely predictable, but it is a nice relaxing watch if you just want to be entertained with something that does not involve violence or explicit sex scenes. It keeps things light.

One more thing - getting back to Henry. Why is it he sees the crazy in all of the female cat owners he encounters at his vet practice, but doesn't see that Kate was an argumentative nightmare, his sister is manipulative enough to be willing to breach a sacred confidence, and Ashley has been involved in one long chronic lie? Or if he does see it, he is OK with all of that? It does seem that the movies like to paint men as jellyfish weaklings these days, but other than that I'd say this one is worth the watch but won't be remembered in the year 2050.

Kate (Eva Longoria) is a bossy annoying bride to Henry (Paul Rudd). On their wedding day, she gets crushed by an ice sculpture. It's one year later. Henry is depress. Kate is a ghost in limbo who doesn't know what to do. Henry's sister (Lindsay Sloane) forces him to go to psychic Ashley (Lake Bell). She gives Ashley Kate's diary so that Ashley can trick Henry to move on. Ashley does that and more. She falls for him.

First, Eva Longoria is super annoying. I am not convinced that Paul Rudd and Longoria would ever make a viable couple. There is a real need to have Longoria show her love for Rudd more than a few times at the start of the movie. He would probably be miserable as Longoria's whipping boy.

While I like Paul Rudd and Lake Bell separately and together, they don't strike me as the pratfall type. This is especially true for Lake Bell. I think their best moments are the snappy dialog. All the weird slapstick going on is out of touch. Jason Biggs lighting his arm on fire is just strange. There is a need to make a decision on what kind of movie this is. Is it a 3 Stooges' slapstick? Or is it a sweet rom-com? It's just a little too odd.
