Critics Consensus

Dishing out enough laughter and chemistry to spare through Keke Palmer and SZA, One of Them Days makes the buddy-comedy genre feel like magic once again.

Audience Says

With throwback Friday vibes, Keke and SZA up the ante on the buddy comedy and make One of Them Days a hilarious ride worth a full month’s rent.

Jonathan Romney

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

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

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

Observer (UK)

What elevates this raucous romp by music video director Lawrence Lamont is the crackling energy between Palmer and singer SZA, making her acting debut here.

Fish Jelly Films (YouTube)

Arguably, in One of Them Days, there ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent, but a magnetic Keke Palmer, paired with SZA's enticing foil, succeeds in not only an effervescent and charming buddy comedy but a beautifully shot tribute....

Rated: 3.5/5

Both in front of and behind the lens, One of Them Days delivers laugh out loud comedy and builds a layered world of friendship squabbles, community coming together and delicious romance. A modern comedy classic!

Keke and Sza are hilarious and have great chemistry. I didn’t love the plot. I wish Keke would’ve improvised her lines more because she’s naturally so funny.
