This is the story of director Lawrence Lamont’s One Of Them Days: When the first of the month comes along and two longtime friends living in south Los Angeles as roommates realize their hard-earned cash has been stolen,

One of Them Days,” which had its premiere cancelled by the fires, is a welcome warm breeze for a movie landscape that has largely frozen out the comedy. There’s one overwhelming reason for this:

Keke Palmer and SZA bring back the buddy comedy and it couldn't have been more chaotic or funny. The film also stars Katt Williams and Maude Apatow.

Part of the pleasure of their journey is seeing who they’ll encounter along the way. “One of Them Days” though, blessedly, is not packed with super famous people. Instead, the obstacles for Dreux and Alyssa are simply played by sharp comic actors at the top of their game.

The two have nine hours to get the rent money in a fast-talking day-in-the-life-of-the-hood comedy that's really a skewed portrait of a community.

Who said January releases can’t be great? This hilarious new comedy heralds that SZA’s movie-star era has officially arrived.

One of Them Days” is a very funny movie. That’s something you don’t find often, especially in the cruel month of January where bad movies go to die. Director Lawrence Lamont and writer Syreeta Singleton create a comedy where every character is not only well cast,

Once upon a time, you could make a movie about a mismatched couple of friends who have to solve a problem. This movie would go into theaters and become a respectable hit and sometimes create sequels.

Its timing is bittersweet — the first Los Angeles-set comedy of 2025, opening mid-wildfires — but Keke Palmer energizes “One of Them Days.”
