TIME Magazine

With their flirty, wisecracking charm, these two performers go a long way in setting the movie’s tone, particularly its generosity of spirit.

Financial Times

Written by Syreeta Singleton, the film is ostensibly a generic race-against-time comedy, but it also goes the extra mile. For starters, this is an affecting but entirely unsentimental study of mismatched friendship.

Rated: 4/5

The six laughs test was passed very, very early on.

The film also serves as a great reminder that the Honey Butter Biscuits at Church’s Chicken are worth fighting for.

The Progressive

One of Them Days, the film debut of director Lawrence Lamont and writer Syreeta Singleton, mines the maddening nature of struggling to make ends meet for comedic gold.

Al the chill movie guy

One of Them Days offers a compelling look into the complexities of life and relationships, with standout performances and raw, emotional depth. The film does an excellent job of capturing the ups and downs of everyday struggles. However, the pacing feels a bit slow at times, and some scenes drag on longer than necessary. Still, it’s a heartfelt experience that resonates long after the credits roll.
