Parents need to know that this romantic comedy stars Eva Longoria Parker, who's popular (and familiar to teens) not just for her starring role in Desperate Housewives but also for her tabloid-followed celebrity marriage to NBA player Tony Parker. There's not really any gratuitous content in the film: The language is standard for the PG-13 rating ("bitch," "s--t," etc.), there's no violence or overt product tie-ins, and the one (aborted) love scene (which shows a man and a lingerie-clad woman fooling around in bed) is more humorous than sexy.
Positive messages:Ashley agrees to scam Henry about communicating with his dead fiancée. Kate uses her time as a ghost trying to sabotage a potential relationship between Henry and Ashley.
Violence:Kate is crushed by an ice sculpture, but viewers don't see it happen. In a funny but slightly creepy scene, Kate levitates and talks in a loud voice while trying to scare Ashley.
Sex:Henry and Kate kiss and hug on their wedding day. Ashley and Henry kiss and fool around in bed (she's wearing lingerie). Henry's sister describes his potential date as a woman with "huge breasts" who "loves oral sex."
Language:Language includes "s--t," "bitch," "ass," "piss," "dick," etc.
Consumerism:Nothing overt: a Uniden cordless phone and a couple of recognizable cars (no visible logos).
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:A character tells a guy she's interested in that if he likes her, "just wait until I'm drunk." Adults drink beer, wine at dinner.

This is pretty funny movie or at least in the last 25 -35 minutes where the parrot talks or at least that's where it gets really funny. I'd say you can rent this on dvd. I think it would only be good to see it once, maybe twice but probably just once. In the begging it was funny too. This movie also kind of charming. This movie a thumbs up for ages 12 - 13+.Pretty funny movie ! Also a charming and a good movie too! Some sexual content/ innuendo and brief mild curse words.But still on/appropriate for ages 12 - 13+ .
This was a very good try at a well done movie...good script and acting separated it from the mostly stupid kid's movies..I would see it again.

eva longoria parker fans might be dying to see this movie i for one am a fan and still did not enjoy this movie
my advice skip it
The first time I watched this I felt like it was entertaining and fun, but the second time around I did not feel so strongly. I think this is a great movie to watch with your gal friends for a laugh and good time, but not a very great or amazing movie over all. Little laughs and giggles, nice movie.
