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.

2/5

A stellar cast, a few laughs and some stylish filmmaking can’t quite make up for Over Your Dead Body’s lack of dimension and off-putting tone.

2/5

Steered by ex-sketch comics, including Jorma Taccone of The Lonely Island/Saturday Night Live and comedy duo BriTANicK, it’s a little too unrefined, with some dead-on-arrival scenes that throw you out of the fun.

With every cruelly hilarious joke and delightfully gnarly injury, Over Your Dead Body goes for the jugular—which is ironic given that this is perhaps the only wound we don’t see inflicted in its 105 minutes of blithely black-hearted brutality.

3.5/5

At its best when it's at its bloodiest, Over Your Dead Body is a cartoonish companion to Death Becomes Her and other heightened parodies of matrimonial compromise.

There’s not a lot of substance here. It’s not particularly subversive or original (the destination is never in doubt), and it doesn’t come close to the comic highs of Popstar. But it is a good, bloody, unpretentious good time.

Fun murder-fueled grotesquerie that'll fix any broken marriage. If you think your marriage is on the ropes, I would definitely make this a date night screening

Enjoyable and entertaining. Ends up being predictable but the first half was good. Worth a watch.
