One Of Them Days Is A Movie For The Chaotic Best Friends
There’s nothing better than a buddy comedy but when we got one for the girls, we’re pulling up. So when it was announced last year that Keke Palmer and SZA will be doing a buddy comedy together, we locked in. This was one of my most anticipated films of 2024 and I had the chance to see it early this week. I can honestly say it’s already on the list for Top 10 favorite films of the year.
One Of Them Days is a combination of Friday and Girls Trip for Gen Z. Dreux and Alyssa are roommates that have to get their rent money together after Alyssa’s squatter boyfriend, Keyshawn, steals it. The movie will have you laughing so much, you forget the runtime is 1 hour and 37 minutes. Keke and SZA’s chemistry together is so unmatched you would think they’ve been friends since high school. I have to give SZA her flowers because she did her big one in this film. This being her acting debut is wild considering the comedic delivery she gives through the whole movie.
This being Lawrence Lemont’s first feature got me ready to bang on every door in Hollywood to hire this man because he did a great job. Additionally, the supporting cast gave equal laughs, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of it was improv. From Kat Williams to Janelle James to Vanessa Bell Callaway, this cast gave us the comedy chops from start to finish.
If you’re part of a best friend combo that has you as either the logical practical friend or the unfiltered unhinged friend, this movie is for y’all. This movie is for everybody, but this film is movie for girls night. This will most definitely be added to the Black cinephile archives. This is truly worth going to the theaters with the girls to watch and have on DVD for physical media.
