I like Jason Segel and Samara Weaving together, but it runs out of steam the darker and heavier it gets. Go to Full Review
David Sims The Atlantic Apr 28
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

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
Preston Barta Dallas Observer 1d
Imagine a romantic comedy filtered through the adrenaline and quirk of the "Zed’s dead" sequence in "Pulp Fiction." It’s offbeat, stylish and memorable as filmmaker Jorma Taccone brings the heat. Go to Full Review

2/5
Director Jorma Taccone's darkly comic thriller starts strong, with an intriguing premise and two talented comedic actors, but it falters once it devolves into a gore-fest. Go to Full Review

a wacky, unhinged, hilarious, merciless massacre that will have you howling in the aisles if you have a sick sense of humor. Go to Full Review

Mr Hollywood 11h Enjoyable and entertaining. Ends up being predictable but the first half was good. Worth a watch. See more Jess 13h hilarious, horrible, and over-the-top at every other turn - a "must watch" for horror fans and comedy fans alike! See more Juan 1d This is becoming the year of Samara Weaving. You got Ready or Not 2, this and Carolina Caroline. I’m kinda for it. Jason Siegel and her are funny together. It’s a pretty good comedy. The dark comedy is kind of having a quiet run. Like the full on comedy is sort of dead but dark comedy we are cooking. If I had to gripe about this its the third act is long. Takes too long wrap up. It’s a good ending tho. I did think he was going to go out the way Timothy Olyphant’s character thought the main character in Siegel’s character movie should have gone out. (Trying to not spoil anything).  It was nice touch. See more John 1d Very dark. The actors were tremendously skilled. However, when the male lead actor was stretched out over a table face down in preparation of being raped by an escaped convict, I left. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME!!! See more Nora C 2d The movie's description calls this a comedy, but I disagree. While there are some scenes that are mildly humorous, it's more gory than anything else. I was hoping for something lighthearted to escape in, and this was not that. That being said, if you like violence and irony this isn't a terrible movie. See more G W 2d Excellent. Good action, predictable but interesting plot. I'm a big Timothy Olyphant fan See more Read all reviews
