The concept of Homebodies is a good one and an amusing, darkly comic one at that. It features a mostly elderly cast and gives them interesting material to chew on. Of course, interesting doesn't always mean it's without flaws.
Homebodies pits senior citizens against uncaring social workers who want to move them out of the apartment complex they've been in for 30 to 50 years and into nursing homes so a construction company can bulldoze it and use the land for something more productive. As the stakes begin to escalate, the elderly residents team up to stop anyone from taking them or their property anywhere and, sometimes, that means murder.
It's fairly amusing for its first half, but it struggles as to which direction it should go in its second half. This might be a good candidate for a modern remake with a more refined script.
