Over Her Dead Body
After his fiancée, Kate, dies in an accident on their wedding day, veterinarian Henry grows depressed. To help him move on, his sister has him visit psychic Ashley and gives her Kate's diary. Ashley uses the journal's details to convincingly deliver the fake message that Kate wants Henry to move on. However, Kate's ghost is watching over Ashley and Henry. Furious when they fall for each other, she vows to sabotage their relationship.
Critics Sentiment
Kate uses ghostly powers to torment Ashley and break them up
Kate is killed by the falling ice sculpture angel
The film rebounds from its weakest point with Kate's absurd death to its comedic peak when she begins haunting Ashley, rising 4.5 points.
Over Her Dead Body starts slowly and suffers from a ridiculous premise, but finds its footing in the middle act when Eva Longoria's ghost comedy and the Rudd-Bell chemistry take center stage. The film follows predictable romantic comedy beats but delivers enough laughs and charm to be a passable entertainment, though it never rises above formulaic genre expectations.
