'Director/actor Paul Fenech comes back to the big screen with a mash-up of his two TV shows: Fat Pizza and Housos.
'When the Government decides that Housos would only receive a quarter of their pensions in cash in order to keep them from spending them on cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, the Fat Pizza crew sees an opportunity to expand their business. But things don't quite go according to plan, and Houso Shazza (Elle Dawe) decides to lead a revolution against Fat Pizza.
'Meanwhile, Inspector Cox (Gary Who) has an inkling about the shifty business and launches an investigation.' (Publication summary)

'Housos tells the not-so-epic stories of Shazza, Dazza, Franky and Kylie - four best mates from down on the block. Sure, they drink away their problems, they might even have frequent domestics but down on the block it's all for one and one for all.
Follow the adventures of the residents of the Sunnyvale Housing Commission in every-town Australia. They battle cops and they scam Centerlink, they even have the occasional threesome and swingers party, but once you're down with the crew in the hood then it's " Sunnyvale for life".'
