Opening Friday in 1977 theatres, the lightweight rom-com Over My Dead Body has made only $4,600,000 — not much to crow about. Obviously the concept, the marketing and the appeal of the two leads, Eva Longoria and Paul Rudd, didn’t cut it with Joe Average. The fact that it managed only a 13% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes (and an even worse 8% among top critics) undboutedly had something to do with the D.O.A. reception. Jeff Lowell’s film appears to be the worst of the year so far. Disputes?
