: Over Her Dead Body

I didn’t hold out much hope for this, and for good reason, as it is as trite as it sounds. It’s mildly entertaining, however, with an excellent cast. The plot is pretty much what you know from the trailer — Eva Longoria’s character was killed on her wedding day and she comes back as a ghost to haunt her fiance’s new girlfriend. Unfortunately, the script mucks this up by having the new girlfriend be a psychic, which just confuses everything, and the film low-balls into some dangerously lame slapstick and crude humor (i.e. a fart scene). There are a handful of interesting moments in the film, and some of the romance between the new girlfriend and the boyfriend are nice, but moments clipped together do not make a film. Overall this is nothing original and though it’s mild and not horrible, it’s barely good either. Disappointing.
