About the movie Over Her Dead Body 2008
The supernatural romantic comedy Over Her Dead Body has just completed its theatrical run, aiming for laughs with its ghostly premise. Directed by Jeff Lowell, who also penned the screenplay, the film stars Eva Longoria as a deceased bride-to-be who attempts to sabotage her fiancé's (Paul Rudd) new relationship with a psychic (Lake Bell). Jason Biggs and Lindsay Sloane also feature in this comedic ensemble. Produced by New Line Cinema, this supernatural comedy sought to deliver a lighthearted and quirky take on love triangles. At the box office, Over Her Dead Body performed poorly, failing to attract a significant audience and becoming a commercial disappointment. Critical reception was overwhelmingly negative. Professional film reviewers panned the film for its unoriginal plot, lack of genuine humor, and reliance on tired romantic comedy tropes. IMDb user reviews were largely negative as well, with many viewers finding it unfunny and forgettable, despite some appreciation for the cast members. Below, you can watch the official Over Her Dead Body movie trailer.

Plot
Kate and Henry are a happy couple. Henry proposed to Kate and they are about to be married, but on the day of their wedding, Kate is accidentally killed by an ice sculpture angel, because of the actions of an ice sculptor. Unaware that she has died and her soul left her body, Kate awakens in Purgatory and wastes time arguing with an angel who finally leaves before she can explain to Kate what she must do to move on.

A year later, Henry's sister Chloe hopes he will find closure by consulting Ashley, a psychic who also runs a catering business with her gay best friend Dan. After an unsuccessful first meeting, Chloe gives Kate's diary to Ashley so she can pretend to communicate with Kate and convince Henry to move on with his life. In the process, Henry and Ashley fall in love with each other, much to the consternation of Kate, who has been watching over Henry. When Kate voices her displeasure, Ashley hears her, unaware of what it means.

Angry over Ashley's deception and uncertain of what she is supposed to do, Kate later encounters the ice sculptor and discovers that he is also a ghost (a result of a drunk driving crash). He explains to her that they must deal with their unfinished business. Believing that her job is to protect Henry, Kate proceeds to harass Ashley (who is the only one who can see or hear Kate). Using her ghostly abilities of intangibility, levitation, and auditory hallucination, Kate hopes to force Ashley to break up with Henry. Ashley persists, but then Henry discovers the fraud with the diary and breaks off the relationship. Despondent over the break-up, Ashley turns to Dan for solace but is further distraught when Dan reveals that he is not gay and has secretly been in love with her for years. Over time, Ashley and Dan eventually reconcile.

After several months of watching Henry fall back into a depressed funk, Kate encounters the sculptor once more, who points out that if she had resolved her unfinished business, she would have moved on to Heaven by now. When the sculptor asks her what she really wants, Kate reluctantly admits that she only wants Henry to be happy, and realizes that he could be happy with Ashley. Then the sculptor reveals that Kate is his unfinished business and he has to get her to do the right thing before moving on, which he does. Kate first attempts to convince Ashley to get back together with Henry but Ashley does not believe her change of heart, and is preparing to fly to Las Vegas with Dan. In desperation, Kate finds she is able to talk to Henry through his pet parrot and gets him to meet Ashley at the airport. Realizing that Henry has forgiven her and that she has Kate's blessing, Ashley joyfully embraces Henry. At their wedding, Ashley delays her walk down the aisle to sit briefly in the back pew, to promise Kate that she will strive to make Henry happy. Also at the wedding, Dan makes a new connection with Chloe. Now ready to move on, Kate arrives once more in Purgatory, congratulated for her efforts by the angel, and requests the "orb of true light" collected from Kate's loved ones. The angel leaves once again, leaving Kate in Purgatory.
