One of Them Days

The film revives Friday’s spirit while bringing its own flavor, and taking the current state of the world into full account.

This shaggy, silly movie works because you want to be there wherever the leads fall splat on their faces: a blood bank, a brawl, an ambulance. SZA and Palmer make a fun pair. They’re not quite an odd couple — more like adjacent screwballs.

Lamont employs fast-paced visuals and bright colors — it's always sunny in L.A. — and lets the laughs breathe, while the community element and the struggle economy that unites them ties everything together.

One Of Them Days serves as an unexpected ode to the tenacity of its [Los Angeles] residents.

Lamont and Singleton effortlessly mix the silly with the sincere, and although “One of Them Days” favors razzing over heart-to-hearts, our belief in this pairing never wavers.

Perhaps I’m grading on a curve due to the dearth of theatrical comedies, but I also can’t deny that Palmer and SZA had me laughing for the whole runtime.

... a low-key heartfelt comedy with ‘90s fervor. Palmer and SZA are the perfect comedy foils to bring this one-day escapade to life.

One of Them Days begins to peter out towards the end and is not a classic by any means but these two make for such an effective comedic teaming that one hopes to see Palmer and SZA together again on the screen as soon as possible

One of Them Days might not necessarily be a great comedy, but it’s absolutely the type of comedy we should see more of in theaters nowadays. Palmer and SZA are a delight, and Lamont & Singleton’s work elevates what could be just a silly comedy.

Raunchy, riotously fun street-smart female buddy comedy kicks off the new year’s movie season with a load of laughs.
