The movie received terrible reviews and also bombed big time at the box office only generating $4.6 million.

"Desperate Housewives" co-star Eva Longoria Parker delivered a dud with her first top-billed movie, "Over Her Dead Body," which opened with a weak $4.6 million to finish at No. 11. Distributed by New Line, the movie stars Longoria Parker as a dead woman whose ghost tries to break up a romance between her fiance (Paul Rudd) and his new girlfriend.

Thats weird. The people in the theatre seemed to enjoy it a lot when i was there. I liked it too, and i dont even like romantic type movies.

It looked like it would be interesting, I wouldn't mind seeing the movie.

Considering all the hype surrounding her overexposed over publicized wedding last year, it probably wasn't a good idea for her to play a bride from Hell in her first big film role.

There are some tv actresses who should just remain ON TV.

Eva is not a movie star. She's not exactly Katherine Heigl in terms of being a tv star who also does well in film

I hate when an actor or actress, because of pure hype, is given a starring role in a movie. I know it is all abt cashing in on that hype, but over-hype is something else. People may want to see her on television, doesn't mean they want to pay to see her on screen.

Eva isn't that good of an actress to begin with. I have watched Desperate Housewives since the pilot and have always found her to be the weak link on the show. I remember she was the only one not nominated for an Emmy of the main four.

Eva thinks she's going to be an A-list film star doing Oscar caliber flicks, but I doubt it.

I have a feeling she'll stick with TV. Once Desperat Houswives ends, she'll probably land a TV deal with some network for her own show, either a "Sex And The City" style dramedy or another primetime soap.

I never thought she would succeed as a film star. At least not in a leading role. I can see her playing the best friend type in a romantic comedy, but that's about it.

good luck for her :lol:

She's already copped the "I'm such a big star, when Desperate Housewives ends, I'll never do television again" attitude in interviews

That will last about a year.

I wonder what will last longer, her career or her marriage.
