Netflix has been capturing attention with its recent releases, including a comedy that has received high praise on Rotten Tomatoes, being considered one of the standout films of the year.
No longer are the days when ‘Netflix and Chill’ was a struggle due to a lack of engaging options.
Now, viewers are comfortably settled on their couches, surrounded by snacks, blankets, and drinks, ready to indulge in some quality TV time.
When word got out about this humorous film’s arrival, audiences eagerly tuned in, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
The film has garnered continuous acclaim from its viewers.
This comedy centers around Dreux (played by Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (portrayed by SZA), best friends and roommates who discover that Alyssa’s unreliable boyfriend has squandered their rent money.
Faced with the threat of eviction from their landlord, Dreux and Alyssa must quickly come up with $1,500, leading them on a comedic adventure.
Directed by Lawrence Lamont and produced by Issa Rae, this Rotten Tomatoes favorite features performances from Palmer, known for roles in projects like Nope and Scream Queens, alongside singer SZA.
Audiences have enjoyed watching the duo navigate their wild escapades, and with comedy legend Kat Williams in the mix, the humor is top-notch.
Williams brings the same level of comedy he delivered in Eddie Murphy’s Norbit, adding to the film’s appeal.
The cast also includes TikTok personality Joshua David Neal and Euphoria’s Maude Apatow, making for a stellar lineup.
One of Them Days debuted in January, and it has been a hit with viewers ever since.
Some even compare its vibe to the classic stoner film, Friday.
With a 94 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences have agreed that the comedy earns its impressive score.
One review states, “Dishing out enough laughter and chemistry to spare through Keke Palmer and SZA, One of Them Days makes the buddy-comedy genre feel like magic once again.”
Another viewer found it “nothing short of chaotic but in a really entertaining, really funny, heart-warming sort of way,” expressing a desire for more from Keke and SZA.
A third person remarked, “Keke Palmer might be my new favorite actress after this. Great performances all around, couldn’t stop laughing. Must watch.”
A critic wrote, “Arguably, in One of Them Days, there ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent, but a magnetic Keke Palmer, paired with SZA’s enticing foil, succeeds in not only an effervescent and charming buddy comedy but a beautifully shot tribute….”
The film’s charm lies in the antics of two women racing in their car, hoping for a stroke of luck, only to encounter endless hurdles, keeping audiences entertained.
The impressive cast only adds to the film’s allure.
