Over Her Dead Body
Over Her Dead Body stars Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria Parker. Marriage may have made her name longer but this movie won’t do the same for her career. In a role that’s nothing to trumpet about she plays Kate, basically the same character we see as Gabrielle Solis who dies after a ridiculous ice sculpture mishap on her wedding day. Kate’s A-type personality rubs the pearly gate greeter the wrong way and she’s sent back to earth with no clear mission. She assumes she’s back to keep her former fiancée Henry (Paul Rudd) from getting involved with Lake Bell in a well played breakout role as Ashley the psychic. Ashley is an earthy beauty in contrast to the hot sophisticated Kate but sparks fly after Henry’s sister introduces them in hopes that channelling the departed intended will end his year long funk after losing his almost bride. That Ashley can’t figure out that Dan (Jason Biggs) is so smitten with her that he pretends to be gay just to be around her doesn’t speak well of her extra sensory perception but then a psychic isn’t really necessary to foretell the outcome of anything in the painfully predictable Over Her Dead Body.
