One of Them Days (2025)

‘One of Them Days’ is an Entertaining Tale of Friends Who Must Scramble to Find the Rent. The raucous new comedy stars Keke Palmer and SZA as best friends and roommates who must race against time to rustle up the rent money to avoid eviction. Opening in theaters on January 17th, ‘One of Them Days’ features two knockout performances from Keke Palmer and in an impressive film lead debut, SZA.

Yet the movie around them is sadly not always worthy of their commitment. Full of weird, pantomime performances, the ramshackle plot is perfectly serviceable as a ticking-clock quest-meets-hangout comedy, but not much more than that.
