One of Them Days, co-produced by Issa Rae, draws parallels to 'Insecure' and 'Rap Sh!t', exploring female friendships and life transitions. While it aspires to showcase Los Angeles, the film feels constrained in its settings, resembling a TV pilot lacking cinematic flair. Director Lawrence Lamont attempts to breathe life into the backdrop with music, but the humor relies heavily on guest comedians rather than the lead characters. The dynamic between the characters, particularly between Dreux and Alyssa, tends to fall flat, with limited comedic chemistry and weak dialogue undermining their interactions.
The movie opens with a sound bite from Big Boy's Neighborhood playing over the radio to provide a lived-in feel of Los Angeles.
One of Them Days feels like a TV pilot, lacking the cinematic richness often found in big studio comedies.
Unfortunately, the jokes in One of Them Days come less from the main characters and more from a revolving door of famous comedians.
Dreux has a lot of comedic jumpiness but the conversations with Alyssa fail to deliver significant humor.
