One of Them Days Ratings & Reviews
- NjParmarMarch 11, 2025Absolutely fcuking brilliant!,
- James SaenzMarch 18, 2025absolute banger of a buddy comedy, something we don’t get much of these days. sza’s acting debut is pretty solid and keke palmer is gold as always. full letterboxd review in bio.
- Hadiyah WeaverFebruary 25, 2025Literally a female, raunchy Friday, reminds me of that time in black comedy history where we had very diverse genres. It is raunchy so if you're planning on bringing a kid, be aware. SZA's film debut was so amazing, and Keke always is and will truly forever be that girl!
- ScottFebruary 24, 2025If it takes 10 years to become an overnight success then Keke Palmer is way overdue.
- Corbin BishopOctober 18, 2025Fun to see a nice heart-felt comedy again! Keke and SZA were great, especially together.
- AbbaJuly 23, 2025Honestly such a nice feel good comedy movie 🙌🏽
- Monkey See! Monkey Review!!October 16, 2025TLDR -> Credit where it’s due: the film may strike a chord with those who see their own stories reflected in it. But for me, One of Them Days felt like a chaotic collage of clichés—a “hot ghetto mess” dressed up in glossy production. Watching One of Them Days, my first impression was that it felt like a modern-day, female-led counterpart to Friday. The second thought that struck me—perhaps unfairly—was whether Keke Palmer was simply playing a version of herself. I found myself wondering if she’s capable of stepping outside roles rooted in the “young, ghetto female” archetype, or if that’s the only lane she’s been given—or chosen—to occupy. I say this not to diminish her talent, but because I’m genuinely eager to see her stretch as an actor and reveal more range. The film itself is well-produced and doesn’t come off as low-budget, and I understand why it’s received positive reviews. It’s entertaining, especially for viewers who enjoy stories centered around growing up in the hood or navigating chaotic, high-energy environments. But for me, it leaned heavily into familiar tropes—evictions, cheating boyfriends, dead-end jobs, predatory loans—and even included a character reminiscent of Friday’s Deebo. These elements felt recycled rather than refreshed. I was also surprised to see SZA involved, as I believe her artistic depth deserves more nuanced material. The movie, while lively, seemed to reinforce every negative stereotype associated with Black urban life. It tried to mine humor from the struggles of single, low-income Black women, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was inviting audiences to laugh at rather than with these characters. That said, I recognize that for some viewers—particularly Black women or those from low-income backgrounds—the film might resonate in a more personal, even cathartic way. If you’re looking for a lighthearted escape with familiar themes, this might be your kind of movie. But having lived through similar struggles myself and knowing the strength and complexity of Black women, I found the portrayal more disheartening than humorous.
- Jerry VasquezMarch 2, 2025It was aight. Tryin to be Friday After Next.
- BigAbouALFebruary 20, 2025I don't know, I stopped an hour into the movie to be honest. It's not bad, but the comedy is weak. I'm easy to make laugh, and this movie didn't make me laugh. Maybe a chuckle here and there. Got bored and figured the ending so I just stopped it. Not sure how it got such high reviews.
- Megan CruzApril 1, 2025Keke Palmer and Sza have such incredible comedic chemistry you’d think they have been doing this together for years. One of Them Days is the kind of outlandish, situational comedy that on paper feels overplayed because streaming services have co-opted the formula to churn out formulaic slop for the past several years, but as Keke would say, the gag is this one actually gets it right. This film is actually funny but knows when to hit the occasional dramatic beat. Both actresses are able to take a hilarious moment and subtly shift the tone so we remember the stakes and the pace keeps pushing alone the tight 90 min runtime. One of Them Days is a breath of fresh air in a landscape where most comedy is utterly stale.
- Kit LazerFebruary 12, 2025Keke Palmer 😭😭😭😭😭😭
- cultfilmlikerFebruary 27, 2025Everyone in this film is so hot. Love the casting of Maude Apatow. SZA is a decent actor; better at comedy than emotion lol some funny featured actors and a good film all-around! I smiled a lot!
- youstinaaFebruary 23, 2025Comedies are back!! SZA I had no idea you had this in you. She’s a natural comedic actress. Keke Palmer might just be one of my favorite people alive. She is so effortlessly funny. An all around feel good comedy.
- Tyler SFebruary 17, 2025👍 6.5/10
- Steffon BizzellFebruary 16, 2025Some funny parts mixed with allot of corny parts that made it worthwhile. if you don’t take the movie to serious instead of what it was intended, you would enjoy it something to make you chuckle.
