“One of Them Days” follows Dreux and Alyssa, as they race against the clock to avoid eviction and keep their friendship intact.

This doesn’t work without Keke Palmer and SZA. They are a hilarious duo, constantly bouncing off of each other. Both are also able to execute in a variety of different avenues, making this a very well-versed movie.

Simply put, this is just an easy film to sit back and watch. You don’t need to take it seriously, and can have several good laughs throughout the 97-minute runtime. Director Lawrence Lamont adds in some heart over the final 30 minutes as well, which really pulls everything together.

At times, “One of Them Days” doesn’t know when to stop. It completely nails a joke, but then keeps furthering it to the point where it’s no longer funny. The majority of the humor lands, but this happens on several occasions. Because of this, it could be hit-or-miss depending on the audience, but younger viewers in particular should find a lot of the comedy relatable.

It’s able to be successful in the comedy, thriller and even action genre at times. While a lot of the humor is in the same vein, it constantly reinvents the wheel throughout. This keeps it fresh, rather than feeling like it is regurgitating the same plot points. The film is also suspenseful, as the story is quite literally a ticking time bomb for the characters. This adds another element that is fun, but also impactful.

“One of Them Days” is a film that you can throw on and enjoy pretty much whenever. Palmer and SZA are electric in the lead roles, with evident chemistry that generates a lot of comedy. It’s a fun ride from beginning to end, and that’s pretty much all you can ask for.
