Plot: Eva Longoria dies on the day she is to marry Paul Rudd. And wouldn't you know it, now she's a ghost hellbent on keeping her ex-fiance single by haunting a potential girlfriend, who also happens to be a psychic... You just can't make this sort of stuff up.Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
First of all, a word to Paul Rudd. Give your agent a RAISE! Never do I recall an actor in so many likable, versatile and above all funny movies as Mr. Paul Rudd. Kudos sir, kudos and may your roles be as prosperous in the future as they are today. Aside from singling out Paul Rudd, I also have to commend everyone else in this fabulous production. Not only Eva Longoria's outrageous take on a sassy poltergeist, Lake Bell and Jason Biggs are also marvelous additions to the cast and bring much warmth and enthusiasm to their quirky yet believable characters. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the casting of this film, as the comedic timing has been crafted to absolute perfection all across the board. There's a real winning formula at play in Over Her Dead Body, a black yet cheerful comedy that had me crying both in laughter and in joy. It's just such a shame I don't hear many people talking about this one at all. I truly believe people are missing out on one of the greatest little comedies to come out of Hollywood in the last ten years. I mean, it has ghosts AND Jason Biggs in it. What more could you possibly ask for?
Best scene: Eva Longoria's tongue-in-cheek, hilariously exaggerated comic death. She gets raped and garotted by a escaped mental patient running amok. It's a scream.
Spread the word. Over Her Dead Body is awesome. Tell your friends!
