You don't see that many supernatural serial-killer romantic comedies.

Gurinder Chadha
Overview
Indian mother Mrs Sethi's obsession with marrying off her daughter turns murderous. With jokes that routinely miss the mark and cringeworthy slapstick, this black comedy farce shouldn't work. Somehow, though, it does.

It's a Wonderful Afterlife may be a busy trifle, but it has its good-natured charms and agreeable gross-outs.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten
Its comic premise seems too silly, and at times, too tedious, to hope for much cross-cultural appeal, despite a fine, committed cast.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Broad enough to drive a truckload of samosas through, yet achieving the miracle of genuine silliness only through Sally Hawkins' turn as a daffy psychic, this gluttonous ghost story should appeal to Chadha's loyal customers.
Justin Chang, Variety
Fresh
Chadha and her team, with their TV-sitcom color palette and quick comic pacing, clearly aren't shooting for plausibility, and audiences in search of a few easy laughs won't be disappointed.
