Editorial Review:
Eva Longoria Parker (TV’s Desperate Housewives) stars in this devilishly funny romantic comedy about holding onto the ones you love...even after you’re gone. When Kate (Longoria Parker) is killed by an ice sculpture on her wedding day, her fiancé Henry (Paul Rudd, Knocked Up) gives up on romance until he falls for the beautiful psychic (Lake Bell, TV’s Boston Legal) who’s supposed to be helping him move on. But Kate’s not having it, and she’s going to do whatever it takes to send their budding relationship six-feet-under.
Description of Over Her Dead Body:
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. It's packed with clever touches and comic setups--and if the plot never quite reaches the lunatic pitch Over Her Dead Body is reaching for, the movie's basic goodheartedness may leave you in a forgiving mood. Longoria Parker, whose charms may be better suited to television, doesn't quite have the crackle her roles demands (the movie was originally subtitled Ghost Bitch), but Rudd and Bell have a nice combative rapport that recalls the verbal sparring of movie couples in the 1930s. Jason Biggs and Lindsay Sloane (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) provide nifty supporting performances. All in all, Over Her Dead Body never fully gels, but there's some definite fun to be had as it bounces along. --Bret Fetzer
Over Her Dead Body Reviews:
Mildly amusing but nothing special. 
2009-10-04 - Eva Longoria Parker did an excellent job as a control-freak bridezilla, who nicely segwayed into a control-freak ghost, haunting her groom's new girlfriend. Of all the ghost-themed movies, this was definitely the silliest, with the ghost playing juvenile practical jokes on her hauntee, along with the two getting into wisecracking cat fights. Between practical jokes and verbal cat fights though, the movie sagged. Paul Rudd as the grieving groom was a nice guy with a good sense of humor and of course better looking than average, and Lake Bell did an okay job as the klutzy psychic girlfriend. But really, this was a one actor movie--Eva Longoria Parker. The movie was mildly amusing, but nothing special.
Entertaining! 
2009-09-10 - Eva Longoria, "Kate", dies on her wedding day when a statue falls on her. Her fiancee "Henry" gets very depressed for a whole year and his sister tries to help him out of his misery. She takes him to a female psyschic "Ashley" to try to convince him that Kate wants him to go on and see other women. The psyhcic gets attracted to Henry, and he does too, and they start going out together. Kate goes to earth in a mission to break them both up and keep her fiancee away from Ashley. The rest of the movie is about a funny struggle between Kate and Ashley to see who will eventually keep Henry.
Funny Movie!
Original Story!

Didnt like it as much as i thought i would
2009-07-11 - I really really wanted to see this movie when it came out in theaters.
Then I bought it off of here, and I just really really didn't like it. I mean its worth seeing once, but It wont be one of those 'watch, rewind, and watch again' ones. I just didn't care for it.
