Horror, not comedy, has been the go-to movie genre in recent years, but "One of Them Days," starring Keke Palmer and SZA, is a good reminder of what we've been missing. This buddy comedy arrives while Los Angeles has been decimated by wildfires, reminding audiences that the communal joys of big-screen comedy suit dark days just as much as light ones.
The film, which had its premiere canceled by the fires, serves as a warm breeze in a movie landscape that has largely frozen out comedy. The performance of Keke Palmer, who plays the lead character Dreux, steals the show, while SZA, in her big-screen debut, also holds her own.
Palmer's character embarks on a madcap adventure to raise rent money before eviction, a premise reminiscent of 1990s comedies. The movie captures a blend of realistic tone with a hint of cartoonishness, reflecting the working-class reality of the characters.
