Keke Palmer has been a force in entertainment for over two decades, and her latest film, One Of Them Days, is a fun, well-executed comedy, powered by Issa Rae.

Starring alongside Grammy-winning artist SZA in her feature film debut, the buddy comedy follows two best friends, Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), who find themselves on a chaotic adventure after Alyssa’s boyfriend disappears with their rent money.

Sony has released the first 10 minutes of the movie for those who want a preview of what to expect.

Keke’s career trajectory, from child star to Hollywood powerhouse, has been quite inspirational. She has navigated through acting, music, and media entrepreneurship, carving out her own lane in an industry that often boxes people in. Specifically, one she has always felt like has tried to box her in.

In recent years, she has dominated on all fronts, with critically acclaimed performances in film, music releases, a podcast, and a digital media platform, KeyTV. Palmer isn’t just a talent, she’s a brand, and a trailblazer for Black women in media.

For SZA, she has been one of the most influential voices in R&B for years. But with this breakout role in One of Them Days, she’s proving that her talent isn’t confined to the recording studio. As Alyssa, she steps into the world of acting with a natural ease.

Beyond the comedy and adventure, One of Them Days delivers an authentic portrayal of friendship. Dreux and Alyssa’s dynamic mirrors the reality of evolving friendships, when people grow at different paces and possibly in different directions, but their love for each other remains a source of inspiration.

The film captures the essence of genuine platonic love, showing that true friendships can endure through challenges, even when life pulls people in unexpected directions. While dramatized for film, the story highlights the importance of uplifting and encouraging one another through all of life’s ups and downs.

One of Them Days represents an exciting moment for the film industry. With two Black women leading the charge, both of whom are expanding their creative empires, the film highlights how comedy can thrive when diverse voices are at the forefront. As the industry continues to embrace fresh perspectives, One of Them Days stands as a prime example of what’s possible when Black women are given the space to tell their stories in new ways.
