To many, the title of the film alone is enough to bring a smile on their face.
Papa Lasisi is the Lagotian petty trader who is popularly known in the community as a shrewd businessman. Every penny in his world counts and would therefore not discount a penny.
It is when the daring children of Joe E Mensah attempt to outwit Papa Lasisi on hiring his bicycle that we realize the extent of Papa Lasisi’s shrewdness.
This film features the likes of Psalm Ajetefio, Jackson Davis, Potia Asare Boateng, Fred Amugi, and others. The lead role is however played by three boys, Aaron Adatsi, Michael Owusu Afriyie and Samuel Obeng, who were all part of the first episode.
A lot of people marvel at the featuring of teenagers in Good Old Days, playing lead roles and yet delivering so well like professional actors.
It will only take an experience and daring film producer and director like the legendry Kwaw Ansah to do this.
Movie lovers can only wait and see how the Mensah Boys will fare when they come face to face with the Abeokuta born Papa Lasisi come April 23 at the National Theatre.
