Hey movie lovers, it’s Reel Pixel here, and let’s dive right into the wild, whirlwind that is One of Them Days! Picture this: Keke Palmer as Dreux and pop queen SZA—yes, THAT SZA, making her film debut—as Alyssa, two best friends and roommates in L.A. who wake up to the worst kind of reality check. Alyssa’s boyfriend, Keshawn, has blown their rent money on his next “big thing,” and now Dreux and Alyssa are facing eviction with just hours to hustle up fifteen hundred bucks or get tossed to the curb by their landlord Uche.
What follows is a high-energy, city-sprawling, buddy comedy adventure that channels the frantic fun of Friday mixed with the art-world hustle vibes of Broad City. There’s an impromptu street-side art show, a run-in with the hilariously intimidating King Lolo—Amin Joseph eating up every scene—and pop-up parties with Bethany played by Maude Apatow. And let’s not forget Lil Rel Howery and Katt Williams popping in for laugh-out-loud moments.
Director Lawrence Lamont keeps the pace as relentless as Dreux and Alyssa’s bad luck, but it’s the chemistry between Palmer and SZA that keeps the emotional stakes real. These aren’t just two comic archetypes—they’re ride-or-die friends, pushing through chaos, betrayal, gun-toting landlords, and even an apartment fire, all while serving up fierce fashion and sharper one-liners.
But it’s not all slapstick. Syreeta Singleton’s script finds real heart in the chaos: Dreux passing up a career break to help Alyssa, Alyssa learning to cut toxic ties, and the triumphant, best-friend glow-up ending that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear. One of Them Days is a fabulously frantic ode to friendship, self-worth, and making rent by any means necessary. Grab your popcorn, text your bestie, and get ready for an hour and a half of pure, fabulous fun. This is Reel Pixel, rolling out—until your next cinematic fix!
