AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'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)
