Lawrence Lamont’s One of Them Days is a feel-good buddy comedy just when we need it the most: in the middle of a gloomy January. Dreux (Keke Palmer) is having one of those days when the universe seems to be conspiring against her.

One of Them Days” is a very funny movie. That’s something you don’t find often, especially in the cruel month of January where bad movies go to die. Director Lawrence Lamont and writer Syreeta Singleton create a comedy where every character is not only well cast,

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.

Horror, not comedy, has been the go-to movie genre in recent years, but a movie like “One of Them Days,” starring Keke Palmer and, in her big-screen debut, SZA, is a good reminder of what we’ve been missing.

Lawrence Lamont got his start in music videos and is now making his feature film directing debut with a big comedy that also features Katt Williams.

Keke Palmer, SZA and Issa Rae want viewers to reflect on who their ride-or-die friends are after watching their latest comedy, One of Them Days. The film follows two friends doing everything they can to pay their rent by the end of the day.
