Things one can learn from watching Over her Dead Body

1) It is difficult to make a person feel sympathetic for Kate when she is introduced as a complete and total bitch.

2) Limbo (the region between Heaven and Earth) is actually just a white-painted room.

3) It is possible for Paul Rudd to be in an "unfunny" movie and to have nothing to do.

4) If you are a psychic, don't try to date your widower client; his Ex's ghost will keep you up all night talking about her old pets, and her favorite colors and numbers.

5) Lake Bell is a "poor man's replacement" for Amanda Peet or Cameron Diaz.

6) Jason Biggs can be quite annoying if lousy writing is given to him.

7) If you love a woman but she thinks you're gay, then pretend to be gay for 5 years in order to stay with her.

8) Like some women, Ashley loves having a gay guy around to take baths with, to have a shoulder to cry on...to pet and feed...she treats him like her dog.

9) If your "gay" friend admits that he pretended to be gay for 5 years for you, it makes sense to consider getting together with him and going to Las Vegas with him instead of telling him never to see her again.

10) If you feel your brother isn't happy, feel free to interfere and make a mess out of his life and a psychic's life.

11) Likewise, if your veterinarian brother refuses to speak to you for doing that, steal your neighbor's cat and take it to the vet to talk with him.

12) Whatever you do, don't tell him it's your neighbor's cat or else he will get even more mad at you.

13) If said cat ends up scratching you severely, it is "karma" and you deserve it.

14) Kate isn't very bright; the audience knows what she has to do to move on to the after life much faster than her.

14) If your fiance contacts you through your bird, take the bird with you as you go to get your girl.

15) If a guy asks if that is your bird, say "No, it's my fiance." He will find nothing weird about that.

16) If the woman you love is going away with her "gay-turned-straight" friend at the airport, perform the big cliche of running to the airport, buying an expensive ticket, and proclaiming your love for her before she boards seen in more than a few Rom-Coms.

17) Likewise, the girl should tell him that the Ex wants him to be happy and that the Ex is sorry for being a "bitch." Again, karma.

18) Don't talk about being gay in public; otherwise, a random gay guy will try to butt in on your conversation and/or hit on you.

19) Don't bother telling said random gay guy you aren't gay; they will still try to ask you out; they will do anything to get their man.

20) When you lose your one and only love to her true love, the only woman that is available to you is her love's sister.

21) Be sure to let the woman know you aren't gay and kiss her right away; a
woman wants to hear that before anything else.

22) It is normal for people to speak with wooden and stilted dialogue.

23) If you write TV sitcoms for a living and you have a 90 minute lame and unfunny, TV sitcom pilot called "Ghost Bitch", feel free to try to market it off as a feature length comedy called "Over Her Dead Body."

24) Everybody still loves Paul Rudd and wish him the absolute best in the future.

25) People who are possessed speak first with a demonic voice, then float in the air, and then they speak like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

26) Can't think of any new decent jokes for your laugh-free comedy...try inserting in a "hilarious" 5 minute long flatulent gag.

27) Even after seeing a ghost play many noises and tricks on you, you will not know that she caused the unnaturally long flatulence from your lover.

28) When yelling at a ghost, don't yell too loud; you never know who might be hearing you yell to yourself (4 or 5 times).

29) Scene getting stale; just throw in a whole sequence of pratfalls and physical comedy involving getting caught on fire, getting scalded with hot water, and slipping to the floor.

30) If you are out with a beautiful woman, don't ever say that cat owners are freaks; you never know if she might own one.

31) If a woman knocks a whole container of mustard on herself, be sure to tell her "you got something on you." (she might miss it).

32) Not all angels have wings.

33) If a giant ice angel starts to fall over you, don't jump out of the way; just stand there and make a huge dumbfounded face of confusion.

34) Some angels are smart-aleck, wise-crackers who really like to mess with the dead's mind.

35) Christmas is on December 25.

36) Apparently, not even 2 guys can lift a fat dog onto a table, even though the dog is clearly not that fat and could easily be lifted up by one man (My 16 year old brother can lift up our golden retriever who is similar in size to the "fat" dog).

37) Henry's sister has no job or life; she just likes to mess around at her brother's vet office, interfere with his life constantly and commit crimes like taking Kate's diary from his apartment and steal cats.

If anybody wants to join in, feel free to add.

38) Paul Rudd is better choosing a Judd Apatow production, one that is actually funny.

39) Kate is actually Gabriel Solis from Desperate Housewives.

40) If you're ever haunted by a ghost, lock yourself at home for one 1 week and pretend to be sick

41) It's okay to stand behind a truck that's reversing.

42) If you're talking to a ghost that no-one can see, and you're asked who you're talking to, just yell "they have a pot-pourri" because, you know, its normal to talk to yourself about pot-pourri.

43)Paul Rudd is cute

44) If there's a ghost in your house, call the pastor whose church you don't really attend to come over and say a prayer to get rid of the ghost.

45) If said ghost finally lets you marry her lover, make sure you take care of him or said ghost will come back from heaven/hell to haunt you.

46) It's possible for a movie with both Paul Rudd and Jason Biggs to be unfunny

you learned quite a bit from this movie.

[–] JRLilyNeil 15 years ago

I did, thank you for noticing!

[–] JRLilyNeil 13 years ago

Come on! I can't be the only person to learn something from this droll-fest!

47)Even though no one knows what the orb of true light is, that's the only way a ghost whose work on earth is completed, can leave limbo....its no longer by "walking into the light" apparently.

48) Pretending to be gay for 5 years in the only way to get the girl you love to stay with you!

49) Kate sure knows how to keep talking for hours at a time, usually when she's trying to control something.

I'm quite a lovely person - apart from my terrible taste in pie.

This thread is as unfunny, boring and flat as the film!

Who's trying to be funny? This is a great learning experience!

Lindsay Sloane is yet another Zooey Deschanel!

Amanda Bynes is hot and Lindsay Lohan is not.
