Lawrence Lamont’s One of Them Days is a feel-good buddy comedy just when we need it the most: in the middle of a gloomy January.
Dreux (Keke Palmer) is having one of those days when the universe seems to be conspiring against her. On the day of a big job interview, she learns that her longtime friend and roommate Alyssa (SZA) gave her good-for-nothing boyfriend their rent money believing he would do the right thing. Instead, he squandered their money on one of his hairbrained side hustles and skipped out to pursue another woman. Their merciless landlord threatens them with eviction if they can’t come up with the full amount by the end of the day. Now Dreux, a waitress with dreams of managing her own franchise, and Alyssa, a struggling artist with questionable judgment, must come up with the money and solve a few more problems along the way.
The movie delivers a slew of silly hijinks and physical comedy with an equal amount of heart as the two mismatched characters lean on each other to get through a notoriously bad day. One of Them Days also serves as a love letter to Los Angeles — hitting even more powerfully given the recent wildfires — highlighting the neighborhoods where residents continue to dream big and work hard, far beyond the tourist spots.
One of Them Days follows in the grand tradition of the hangout movie
One of Them Days feels like a throwback in the best way possible. It’s a hangout movie — films in which well-meaning goofs just try to have a good time or fall in love — in the tradition of Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke, the Kid ‘n Play-led House Party, and the Wayans’ Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood. Lamont’s film even channels a bit of John Landis’ 1978 Animal House with its chaotic spirit, large ensemble, and updates on each of the characters at the end.
But perhaps the greatest thematic connection is to F. Gary Gray’s ‘90s comedy classic Friday, which centers on two friends who need to settle a debt before a short deadline, or they will die. The dynamic between Ice Cube and Chris Tucker gives Friday its emotional grounding while its many, many jokes and quips (including the line you’ve heard way too many times since, “Bye Felicia!”) have kept the film alive in the pop culture.
One of Them Days involves two friends with a similar dynamic chasing after a goal, but Dreux and Alyssa go about it in a different way, attempting to use their entrepreneurial skills to come up with the money in just a few hours’ time.

One of Them Days is fresh and fun

Those earlier films have something else in common: They focused on men, with women playing supporting or bit parts, if they factored in the narrative at all. One of Them Days, then, breaks ground, delivering feel-good laughs with its jokes about women behaving badly, falling into hilarious shenanigans, and expressing their deep support for one another. (In so doing, it brings to mind the no-holds-barred camaraderie of Girls Trip, which also shook up the formula to great success, and the 1997 cult classic B.A.P.S., in which two friends head to Los Angeles to pursue their dreams and finance their salon-soul food business.)
One of Them Days is produced by Insecure actor and writer Issa Rae, who has satirized social issues in previous works. The film continues the trend, tackling negligent landlords, gentrification, bad credit scores, and predatory payday loans. Writer Syreeta Singleton, who also wrote for Insecure and Rae’s comedy TV series Rap Sh!t, gives us a movie that tips its hat to the past while making it uniquely her own. Lamont, a fellow Rap Sh!t alum, sets the comedy tone of the movie with exaggerated camera work (think zooms and dramatic angles) and details like a countdown clock to emphasize the time slipping away for our heroes.
One of Them Days also shares a connection with another Issa Rae-related production, A Black Lady Sketch Show, in the way quirky characters are introduced in skit-like encounters before our heroines move on — or run away from — the strangers they meet.

They tease each other, they support each other, they fight and make up. Like Issa and Molly in Insecure, Dreux and Alyssa go through the highs and lows of sticking together, and they help each other mature through this stressful, silly day. They’re so charming, it’s impossible not to root for Alyssa’s bad plans to work out and Dreux’s nonstop ambition. Singleton has written them to be witty and endearing if imperfect, making them pretty relatable in their struggles. Plus, Lamont makes them look amazing, even in ridiculous clothes and situations.
But the bulk of the credit belongs to the movie’s stars. Palmer is so incredibly charismatic, she commands the screen even when her character is embarrassing herself, like when she awkwardly loses her words in the presence of her crush. SZA brings a completely different presence to the film as an unflappable Internet Age artist who is almost calm to a fault yet doesn’t have enough foresight to avoid sending a text message she will regret. Their delivery is spot-on; their reactions are outsized and boisterous. Together, they have incredible fun making the best out of terrible situations, like taking a pair of vintage Air Jordans off telephone wires to bankroll their rent by polishing up the old shoes and staging them with flowers; jumping into a fight to defend a friend; or surviving a medical emergency, then sprinting out of the back of an ambulance to avoid the pricey medical bill.
The pair are joined by a sizable cast of offbeat characters, including an unlucky man named Lucky (played by legendary comedian Katt Williams). Janelle James of Abbott Elementary shows up briefly as a failed phlebotomist; Lil Rel Howery crashes the party as a weird, weepy shoe collector; Maude Apatow waltzes in as a bright-eyed symbol of gentrification named Bethany. There’s also Patrick Cage as Dreux’s dreamy love interest, Maniac; Joshua David Neal as Alyssa’s bad news boyfriend, Keshawn; and Aziza Scott’s fiery “Big Booty” Berniece as the villainous bully taking Dreux and Alyssa’s day from bad to worse.
One of Them Days is a refreshing take on a well-worn comedy premise. With a résumé largely featuring music videos and, most recently, Rap Sh!t, Lamont has a cool directing style that results in scenes that are vibrant and sleek, full of high-octane needle drops to match. He and cinematographer Ava Berkofsky make the characters look like they’re popping off the screen through close-ups, action shots, and eye-catching costumes. There is always movement and motion, even if it’s as subtle as a side-eye or raised eyebrow. With that kinetic background, Palmer and SZA bring the heart and soul to a unique buddy comedy that feels fresh and timely.
One of Them Days is now in theaters.
