Over Her Dead Body (2008) 7/10

Starring : Eva Longoria Parker, Paul Rudd, Lake Bell, Jason Biggs, Lindsay Sloane, Stephen Root
Director : Jeff Lowell
Running Time : 95 mins

Following the accidental death of his fiancée, Henry (Rudd) is convinced by his sister Chloe (Sloane) to see a psychic so that he can move on. The psychic, Ashley (Bell), is given information by Chloe to help convince Henry of her authenticity, and ends up falling for him. But when the ghost of dead fiancée Kate (Longoria Parker) turns up at her door, Ashley starts worrying about how to get rid of her.

This was a surprisingly entertaining comedy, considering how bad its reviews have been. Longoria is incredibly mean as the dead fiancée, and Rudd and Bell are both genuinely funny in their roles. There are some nice silly moments in the movie, mostly involving Bell who is definitely a face to remember for the future. I would definitely recommend checking this out.
