Review of Over My Dead Body

The camera Fred Wischnewski (Christoph M. Ohrt) of a matchmaker agency owned by his estranged wife Charlotte (Ulrike Folkerts) is a womanizer, having affairs with many clients. After an argument with Fred, Charlotte asks him to drive to the house of her faithful client Rita Hauser (Katja Riemann), who decided to not renewal her contract with the agency after overhearing a terrible comment of Fred about her, and convince Rita to stay working with the agency. However, Charlotte, who is also a safari hunter, has hired a hitman (Udo Kierr) to kill Fred on the road. Fred is shot dead but convinces Death (David Michael Williamson) to give him a second chance to receive his life back. Death proposes that he resolves the problem with three brokenhearted women in three days. His mother, who died five years ago, would return to tell him who the women are. Fred returns in Rita's basement and she also decides to help him. But the tasks are not easy and Charlotte will be a great problem to him.

"Nur über meine Leiche", a.k.a. "Over My Dead Boy", is a very funny and nonsense German comedy awarded in minor festivals. The original screenplay is hilarious, with a witty humor and many interesting characters. The poor Gerda (Claudia Schlenger), always accidentally hit by objects. The talkative Frosch (Felix Eitner) with his useless great sense of observation. The gorgeous and mute Lisa (Julia Brendler). But the two paramedics (Klaus Stiglmeier and Joseph Hannesschläger) and Fred's mother steals the movie. Unfortunately this film was only released on VHS in Brazil). My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Até Que a Morte Não Nos Separe" ("Till Death Does Not Do Us Apart")
