    Perfectly good rom-com fun

    An excellent bit of romantic comedy nonesense that surely can't fail to entertain. Fresh from a great support role in the hilarious Knocked Up, Paul Rudd (Henry's) all too perfectionist soon to be wife is killed in a freak accident, she retains her neurotic behaviour into the afterlife and is not too pleased when Henry inadvertently finds a new love interest. Are her beyond the grave antics set to destroy any chance of her gaining her halo. This is well worth a watch to find out.

    Nothing to write home about!

    The usual rom com scenario. Watchable, but not a movie I would remember a day later. I did discover however, how annoying Eva Longoria is onscreen!

    just another average romcom

    this is a little thin on the laughs at times, thought there'd be more comedy than there was to be honest. the longer you watch it, the more apparent it becomes that it's no different from any of the others you've seen before. it starts off well then lets itself down somewhat. does seem to be a bit of a trend these days with this sort of thing.

    Over Her Dead Body

    Desperately bad. It was the worst Rom Com I have seen in ages. I thought very little of Eva Longoria's performance which was pretty much a reindition of her Desperate Housewife persona. No depth, no nothing really. I didn't laugh once but cringed loads. Waste of time.

    Over hyped

    Overall a disappointing comedy, staring CBS (Cute But Sexy) Paul Rudd, there were however funny bits with some good stuff from Jason Biggs (American Pie) who stars in a supporting role as a “Gay man”.

    The movie took ages for the characters to be two dimensional and not cardboard caricatures ….. But as soon as it got going, it ended and I was left feeling short changed. An ok view especially if you don’t expect much. Watching (Desperate Housewives) and this comedy, confirmed Eva Longoria Parkers’ acting role, that of petulant spoilt princess, which was annoying, but good acting.

    Customer Review

    This film was so funny you just cant help but laugh, while at the same time there's some really sad parts. The story-line it'self is really cheesy and very predictable, but there's some good acting and it still gets the point across - we thoroughly enjoyed this movie and could happily watch it again - who knows, might even buy it. you could do far worse. i'd say this is probably on a par with Shallow Hal in terms of cast, humour, moral issues, acting and over-all story line so if you like that sort of movie, you'll love this one

    Okay!

    This was an 'Okay' film but wouldn't say it was wonderful. The characters were well known and I was surprised that the script was relatively boring!

    The ending was predictable too!
