David Sims The Atlantic 2d
The inherent nastiness of Over Your Dead Body will likely keep it from being anything but another cultish object in Taccone’s interesting career. But its highest highs come from slipping good old-fashioned physical farce into an action-heavy package. Go to Full Review
G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle 3d
1/4
About the only spark generated by “Over Your Dead Body” is the running joke about Lisa’s skills as an actor. Go to Full Review
David Fear Rolling Stone 3d
It’s hard to dislike a movie that allows folks like Segel and Weaving to lean into being so equally dislikable. Go to Full Review

B-
Weaving fans who want to see more action from her after the Ready or Not films will be gratified and there’s enough going on to keep us in suspense and hold our attention. Go to Full Review
Chris Mello In Review Online 1d
In dropping the pretense of having something to say to instead seek cheap thrills for genre fans, Over Your Dead Body delivers enough to hoot and holler about. Go to Full Review
Stephen Silver Splice Today 1d
The problem is that while I’ve enjoyed Segel as a performer, he’s not believable as someone who’d do violence to his wife, or to anyone else. Go to Full Review

Cinema Rattler 1h I would have rated this a little higher, but it just dragged on and on in the second half. I actually walked out of the theater during the wrap up. See more Richard B 5h This was — pants down — the funniest movie I've seen since "A Fish Called Wanda." Yes. I'm that old. Beautifully acted. — I really mean this — the film confirms what we already know about Josh and what we didn't yet know about Samara. Award shows never seem to rate comedies but often they miss the point: Comedyis Hard! Don't take your thirteen year old. Think twice about bringing the reverend. Don't think twice if you appreciate uncontrollable, whole-body laughs, and shocking moments you can't forget. See more Sct 14h Mostly SLOW, with brief bursts of action. Characters are DUMB! See more Eric M 16h Great fun and very true to the original See more Facebook U 18h I couldnt stop laughing. See more daniel m 1d Movie was entertaining. Had some twists and some moments that was funny. See more Read all reviews
