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

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

D+
"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."  OhmyNews.com  Brian Orndorf

2/5
"'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."  eFilmCritic.com  Dan Lybarger

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."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

B-
"Just enough laughs to make it watchable, despite Longoria's insufferable performance."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

D-
"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."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

D+
"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..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

D
"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  Peter Sobczynski

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  Stephanie Zacharek

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."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
