[An] offense of a ghost comedy. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

The kindest context in which to put Over Her Dead Body, which was written and directed by Jeff Lowell, is that of a training film, a public display of people trying to master their craft. The best way... full review

The tale [falls] short on imagination. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

An unsurprising entry in that hoary micro-genre of romantic comedies to feature a fresh-from-the-corpse disembodied spirit who just can't seem to get a move-on. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
