Funny you should ask
I was thinking about this movie yesterday. Mostly because I think Eva Longoria has played a fantastical trick on Hollywood - convincing people she is talented - but also because what a queer concept for a film!
Why does this dead woman care about who her ex-boyfriend dates? Is the idea that women are so petty and so jealous of other women that they can’t even let go of their worldly concerns in the after-life??? I assume, since this is a mainstream film directed at middle-America, that she is in heaven (right!) and then comes down because she can’t bear to see the people she left behind happy.
Great. Very sympathetic character. Super premise for a movie!
But, in the end the tragedy of this film is not the premise, nor Eva Longoria. It’s the fact that Paul Rudd has debased himself yet again for a paycheck. Stop it, Rudd, you’re too good for this.
