A Hilarious and Heartfelt Rollercoaster
‘One of Them Days’ is the scene to a comedic hurricane that finds Dreux and Alyssa ass-backwards as they desperately try to avoid getting evicted because Alyssa’s boyfriend has wasted their rent money. Their journey is another story of the race against the time and the combination of the conflict and comedy. It’s couched in a humorous voice even as darkness lurks just beneath the surface making it a comedy drama that isn’t all fun and games. The friendship of Dreux and Alyssa is the tear-jerker of this buddy comedy.
Keke Palmer looks adorable as ever and SZA, as much as one might not be familiar with her, she gives a splendid performance. Palmer is funny as always while SZA play an interesting character own. The actors providing support – veterans Vanessa Bell Calloway and Katt Williams – help broaden the picture.
Starring and directed by Lawrence Lamont, the movie has a good pace and overall energy. What has been done very well in the film is that for every confusion of the main characters, there is a kiss and vice versa, so the story moves forward and does not leave the viewer indifferent.
The musical accompaniment of the tape contains popular songs of the modern world and exclusive compositions that reveal every lift and fall of the main characters.

The movie steadily builds up the pace of comedy and adores the audiences with bright and inspiring misadventures of Dreux and Alyssa without sacrificing the continuity; the subtlety of the dialogues serves the comedic tones well. It strengthens the movie’s message revolving around friendship and never giving up.
Sometimes it can be quite monotonous and though the film is highly entertaining, a certain level of predictability is felt at some point. It would help if some of them were funny jokes or if they thorough the concept with more physical comedy than focusing on more narrative layers. Nevertheless, the strong character dynamics compensate these slightest inaccuracies The show ‘One of Them Days?’ had me bursting with laughter and contemplation. I believed the juxtaposition of humour and friendship to be credible and provided a solid base for the story. The very fact of suggesting potential viewers some emotions and having charming actors helps the film to influence a viewer on a deeper level and leave an unforgettable impression, even if it has some predictability at least.
