"Move over, 'One Missed Call.' You now face stiff competition for worst movie of the year from 'Over Her Dead Body.'"

"This January has been surprisingly pain-free, a rarity for sure, but this heap brings matters back to a stark reality."

"Rudd and Bell can only goes as far as the director allows, and their efforts are further neutered by an odious supporting performance from Jason Biggs and Longoria's grating turn as a vengeful, horrible actress. I mean spirit."

"'Over Her Dead Body' is a supernatural romantic comedy that's guaranteed to make viewers loose their faith in love in this world or the next."

2/4
"...a tired, utterly forgettable effort that boasts little in the way of positive attributes."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
1.5/4
"Thoroughly unoriginal and screams of desperation.
Over Her Dead Body
is a fitting title; this is a DOA dud."

"Just enough laughs to make it watchable, despite Longoria's insufferable performance."

"
Blithe Spirit
with all the blitheness and spirit sucked out."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"While not horrifically bad, it's as mediocre a motion picture as you're likely to find in a multiplex this season."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1/5
"[Eva Longoria] brings a Jennifer Lopez level of suck to the screen."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1/4
"The top-billed star of
Over Her Dead Body
dies within five minutes of her first appearance, and if the majority of the other characters in the movie suffered a similar fate, I wouldn't have complained much."

"If it were considered unseemly to speak ill of dead films, then the only thing to recommend about
Over Her Dead Body
would be the lead actor's palpable indifference."
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
"[A] stilted, contrived, slapdash collection of lazily acted, badly written scenes thrown together into something that writer-director Jeff Lowell hopes you won't notice don't quite connect to one another..."

"starts out badly, gets much worse, and then after it is just dull for a while, it veers off into a whole new category of awful."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
1/4
"For a pure shot of cinematic depression, nothing quite tops opening credits that end with "...and Jason Biggs.""
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
""Over Her Dead Body" tells the story of an obnoxious and thoroughly unpleasant woman who dies in the first scene and still continues to annoy and aggravate. Unfortunately,it turns out that the film itself suffers from the same condition."
eFilmCritic.com

C-
"A stumbling romantic lark about a bubbly psychic who throws down with the shrill ghost of her boyfriend's former fiancee,
Over Her Dead Body
is a stiff of a supernatural comedy."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
3.5/5
"silly in a memorable way."
Filmcritic.com
Sean O'Connell
"
Over Her Dead Body
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
."
Salon.com

3/10
"Silly, campy and tepid - no hearts 'n' flowers here."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
7/10
"There are some flat-out great moments in a largely mediocre film, which is enough to shoot it to the very top of its class - it is midwinter, after all."
