One of Them Days (2025)

IMDb plot summary: When best friends and roommates Dreux and Alyssa discover Alyssa's boyfriend has blown their rent money, the duo finds themselves going to extremes in a race against the clock to avoid eviction and keep their friendship intact.

Directed by Lawrence Lamont. Stars Keke Palmer, SZA, and Vanessa Bell Calloway.

One of Them Days follows two best friends, played by Keke Palmer and SZA, whose quest to pay their rent spirals into a chaotic series of misadventures. This is such a classic trope story which depends entirely on how enjoyable the actual adventures are, and this one was an absolute blast from start to finish. Palmer and SZA have fantastic chemistry together. They’re so dynamic and funny as a pair, I could watch those characters interact for hours. I laughed out loud a lot, which is pretty rare for me, and the movie always keeps things fresh with sharp jokes, unexpected twists, and a brisk pace that keeps the energy moving. Alongside that, there's a sense of such warmth and community running through the whole thing that makes it all even stronger. This one is bright, bold, fun, and a girl-buddy comedy movie to put up there with the likes of Plan B and Bottoms.
