    One of Them days is an extremely fun, lively buddy comedy that thrives on the undeniable chemistry between Keke Palmer and SZA. Their dynamic friendship feels so effortless and natural that it feels like watching real-life best friends navigate a hilariously chaotic day.

The one-day storytelling structure maintains the pacing brisk and the comedic moments fresh, making for an entertaining ride from start to finish.

    'One of Them Days' is held together nicely by Keke Palmer and SZA, who elevate an otherwise potentially forgettable film into a certainly good one. Them two ensure there is plenty of amusement throughout, those on the cast behind them also bring satisfactory performances.

    The plot is probably what you'd expect, given the title. It most certainly is one of them days for the characters involved. The 90 minute run time was a perfect choice, if it went on any longer then it would've dragged - but, thankfully, it didn't. It isn't a deep movie, simply an entertaining one.

    It is delightful to come across a comedy that not only delivers laughs, but also builds a heartfelt, relatable story. Director Lawrence Lamonts One of Them Days is exactly that kind of film. This female buddy comedy for the modern era takes you on a whirlwind of misadventures and friendship, and its so much better than I expected precisely because its nothing like I expected. This very funny and spirited movie is a blast from start to finish.

    Anchored by two extremely charismatic leads, the film tells the story of roommates and besties Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), two thirtysomethings doing the best they can to make a living in Los Angeles. After the young women discover that Alyssas deadbeat boyfriend Keshawn has run off with ...
