Enid (Maureen Mueller) walks in on her husband, Harry (Judge Reinhold), and her sister, Jane (Elizabeth Perkins), as they are canoodling in bed together -- a tryst inspired by their mutual frustration with the insufferable Enid. In the midst of Enid's fury, a violence breaks out, and June accidentally kills her sister. Harry then tries to make the death look like an accident and dispose of the body. Unfortunately, the dead Enid proves to be just as problematic as the living one.

michael d What a bizarre movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Over Her Dead Body (Enid Is Sleeping) is that lesser-known comedy gem that is underrated---it's entertaining and funny and Judge Reinhold and Elizabeth Perkins give a couple of great performances. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member OMG I laughed my ........ off............talk about having a bad day lol..... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member What do you do if you have a horrible wife? You either get rid of her or have an affair. This husband has an affair with his wife's sister and the wife walks in on them having sex. He can't get rid of her so he kills her and does everything to get rid of the body but it isn't easy. This is easy entertainment not anything out of the ordinary.
