Critics Consensus

With Hitchcockian flair, inventive gore, and electric performances, Over Your Dead Body blends tense thrills and playful twists into a satisfying, if occasionally conventional, ride.

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.

About the only spark generated by “Over Your Dead Body” is the running joke about Lisa’s skills as an actor.

It’s hard to dislike a movie that allows folks like Segel and Weaving to lean into being so equally dislikable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
