Amazon Review: Eva Longoria Parker (Desperate Housewives) plays a
woman named Kate who gets crushed by an ice sculpture on her wedding day and
comes back from the dead to make sure her fiance, Henry (Paul Rudd) never finds
love with anyone else. Unfortunately for Kate, Henry's sister has dragged him to
see Ashley (Lake Bell, Surface), a psychic who revives Henry's will to
romance. Ashley is the only person who can see Kate--a fact that Kate uses to
her advantage and makes Ashley's life miserable. Over Her Dead Body wants
to be a classic screwball comedy in the vein of Topper.

For all its faults, Over Her Dead Body offers at
least a few sporadic laughs, which automatically makes it one of the

of it makes sense -- logically, emotionally or dramatically John Anderson: Washington Post
"Over Her Dead Body" has a fatuous, overabused story line
and a larger set of gestures than Cecil B. DeMille...more
