Over Her Dead Body (12A)

The Pitch
When his fiancée, Kate, dies on their wedding day, Henry is left in emotional turmoil and unable to carry on with his life. His sister, Chloe, urges him to see a psychic and after some gentle nagging he reluctantly agrees. Despite his scepticism he believes the medium when she informs him that Kate wishes him to move on and he gradually begins to fall for her. But just when it seems the couple might be able to walk off into the sunset, the medium gets a visit from the dead fiancée’s ghost who sees it as her last earthly duty to break off the romance. What unfolds are a series of comedy events which bring a new meaning to the phrase “three’s a crowd!”

The Talent
Everybody’s favourite desperate housewife, Eva Longoria Parker, stars as the ghost fiancée that you wouldn’t want to mess with, gorgeous Paul Rudd (Friends, Knocked Up) plays the unknowing Henry and Jason Biggs provides extra comedy value playing Ashley the medium’s pal Dan.

The Verdict
For anyone who loved Ghost and Just Like Heaven here’s a romantic comedy/ghost story with a hilarious twist. Longoria is fantastic as the spurned dead woman giving Ashley a run for her money in the romance stakes. With awkward sex scenes and embarrassing incidents galore, watching Ashley compete with a spirit for love is pretty intense. Find out if she manages to exorcise the ghost in this brilliant, supernatural comedy.
