One of Them Days

The best and funniest movie of the year

This film was amazing! It's almost like a female version of Friday. All the actor and actress we wonderful! A must see film for sure!

Very clearly going for another version of Friday and I think most of it works. Honestly this is one of my most muted Keke Palmer experiences which is a unique thing I experience when I see her. Typically I see Keke Palmer and I don't like it. I question if I'm even going to enjoy this. Then at the end of the movie I thoroughly enjoyed it and wonder why I ever thought I wouldn't. Then it happens all over again the next time I see her in something. But here it was much more smooth. I think everything in this movie was working with her SZA was a great partner.

Katt Williams was tuned down a bit too much. It's still Katt but I could have used 20% more Katt. All the other side actors were great from Janelle James as Nurse Ruby to Joshua Neal as Keshawn to especially Aziza Scott as Berniece. Everything kinda melded together.

I think the weakest part of the movie was that it failed to do what the countdown was supposed to do. Which is keep up the tension by constantly orienting the movie around it's end goals. Which in this case means the interview at 4 and rent by 6. The movie flows well as you go from set-piece to set-piece and yes you do feel like they're trying to get money. But in spite of the sporadic timer countdowns the movie doesn't feel like it's about to hit that 4 o'clock time or that 6pm curfew. I don't care that much for Maude Aptow in general but I don't have any issue with her in this role. I will say that I feel she under performed even as a contextually ignorant and mildly thoughtless gentrifier. It speak even more honestly to how good the rest of the cast even the side characters are.

The other thing I didn't like about the movie that I keep forgetting (honestly because it wasn't stretched out) is that they have a Bob character. A trope I name after Bill Murray's eponymous character in _What About Bob?_. It's the story of a psychiatrist who goes on vacation with his family. One of his more extreme patients with mountains of phobias decides to conquer them all by following Richard Dreyfuss' psychiatrist, Dr. Leo, to the family vacation spot where he invades the personal space of his mental professional. Now everyone in the family loves Bob but Leo is just frustrated at not being able to get any downtime and personal family space. The movie, like the family, frames Leo as wrong. After which he has to make a mea culpa and recognize his wrongness in the conflict that Bob has created and in which everyone is against Leo. I hate Bob. Because Bob was the one who was wrong. Bob injected himself in a family gathering. Bob is the one driving his psychiatrist bonkers. BOB is at fault. But everyone says otherwise.

If this sounds familiar it's because you'll see Bobs everywhere. It's at the start of Anger Management when a perfectly calm Adam Sandler gets throw off a plane for rage out. You see it in Father of the Bride where Steve Martin being annoyed for valid reasons and everyone acting like he's being extreme is 70% of the movie. And it happens here where SZA makes such a monumentally bad decision it's literally going to make them homeless. But when they legit fight she (and the movie) frame it as if Keke is equally to blame for.... not liking her life? It's a form of gas lighting not centered in male patriarchy.

God i laughed so much. I knew what was gonna happen but was still so invested cause i hoped to dear god it wouldn't go wrong for them

I really enjoyed this. It was such fun! The girls just had great chemistry! I honestly didn’t even know that was Sza until reading the comments here 😂. Newfound appreciation for her for sure! Already had much love for KeKe!

Surprisingly funny and a good time. Didn’t know SZA could act but she’s great. Keke Palmer is also hilarious. The movie feels like a bunch of different bits thrown together but it works for the most part and had me laughing throughout. The bully girl bit was my favorite. Worth a watch!

"Take heed! You take heed. Somebody take heed. Heed is not being taken!"

Pretty fun, pretty sweet. Obsessed with Keke Palmer. SZA is surprisingly funny. Maude Apatow is so random 😂.

Lucky MVP.

Keke Palmer and SZA have incredible chemistry together! such a fun time and great movie for a prosecco party with the pals 

Keke Palmer is a star, and her chemistry with SZA makes for a film that’s endlessly entertaining and charming. Almost cozy despite the premise, the bond between the two leads makes them easy to root for and home to some warming moments on top of being very funny.

Really cute. Glad to have a buddy comedy in 2025.
