Keke Palmer says her new film with SZA continues a tradition of side-splitting Black comedies with an important message.

They’re girlz in the hood. Two young women trying to make it from “Friday” and “Next Friday” to “Friday After Next.”

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 very well-reviewed buddy comedy stars Palmer and SZA as friends and roommates scrambling to get money for rent before their landlord evicts them.
