Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

This madcap paranormal love triangle is charming on its own terms. Read full review

A.O. Scott

For what it is -- a romantic comedy about the rivalry between a jealous ghost and a flaky psychic for the love of a veterinarian -- Over Her Dead Body is not bad. Read full review

Michael Phillips

The slapstick is crudely executed. And the movie never makes up its mind regarding how nasty the ghost of Kate is going to play her revenge tactics. Read full review

Sheri Linden

Rudd is an underappreciated comic actor, and his line readings are the best thing in the film, but the bland role barely taps his talent. Amid the rest of the cast's one-note posing, his scenes with a parrot have a spontaneity and wit otherwise in short supply. Read full review

Kyle Smith

At some point, this movie must have been a screenplay. But it's an enigma why anyone would bet tens of millions of dollars that people would laugh. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

Seriously lacks both romance and comedy. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

May be the worst romantic comedy I've ever seen, although I hesitate to make such a resolute pronouncement about a movie that's so barely even THERE. Read full review
