The idea of the film about ghosts has long troubled the imagination of masters from Hollywood. Perhaps the best of them was "The Sixth Sense" and "The Corpse of the Bride" by Barton. Unlike these pictures, "The Bride ..." turned out to be quite a petty and capricious person.
Kate prepares for her wedding, gives instructions on how to decorate a banquet, when suddenly an ice statue of an angel ordered for a celebration falls upon her. Perhaps for the absurdity of her death with no one can compare, but the movie is not about that. The unfortunate husband of Kate was a veterinarian named Henry, a quiet fellow, after the death of his beloved, who became quite sad and desperate. Disgrace sadness and indifference of the brother his sister Chloe is solved.
She resorts to a clever plan - to take Henry to the medium, in order to inspire him that the dead love wishes him happiness and releases him. However, contrary to the plans of Kate and Chloe, the medium-girl Ashley not only deceives Henry, but also begins to show sympathy for the boring veterinarian. Henry himself is not against the relationship with another girl, however, he is stopped by the late girlfriend, whose opinion he would like to hear. That's where the heroine of Eva Longoria, Kate's ghost, comes into action. She in every possible way interferes with Ashley's plans to meet her ex-fiancé, like a harmful cat, scamming at every turn.
The final of the film remained unsaid, hinting at a sequel, but I'll say right away that it will not. Actress starring "desperate housewife" Eva Longoria had high hopes for this film; for her, he became the first major role in the big movie. But the aspirations of the "star of the room" were not destined to come true. Weak comedy from Jeff Lowell special originality does not suffer, and the actors' play Lake Bell and Paul Rudda are akin to sluggish performances in the circus. Rudd, who played an indifferent veterinarian, may no longer be removed - such indifference on the screen is rare. Also here, the famous for "American Pie" Jason Biggs. His unsure attempts to prove to Ashley that he was not gay to anything good did not.
Completely unpredictably played herself Longoria - apparently, the girl sincerely tried to portray a ghost. In the merits of the film, you can only record the calmness of the frame, the parrot and the very Longoria. But everything crossed out the banal script and the uncomplicated course of events a la "met-liked, took a walk-quarreled, agreed-on." There are thousands of such films on the "Dream Factory", and even "The Bride from the Other World" is clearly not included in the first hundred.
