The Plot: Why Dreux and Alyssa Are Having 'One of Them Days'
The core of One of Them Days is a high-stakes, day-long scramble that tests the limits of friendship. The plot centers on two best friends and roommates, Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), who are suddenly plunged into a desperate financial crisis.
The inciting incident occurs when they discover that the money they had saved for rent—a significant amount—has been completely blown. The culprit is Alyssa's freeloading and uncaring boyfriend, Keshawn, who selfishly uses the money for his own ventures, leaving the two women facing imminent eviction.
With a looming deadline and no other options, Dreux and Alyssa are forced to go to extreme, often illegal, and always hilarious lengths to recoup the money. The film follows their chaotic journey through the city, encountering a host of eccentric characters and navigating increasingly absurd situations.
This premise allows the film to explore themes of female friendship, financial struggle, and the often-toxic dynamics of relationships, all wrapped in a sharp, R-rated comedic package. The chemistry between Palmer, known for her energetic screen presence, and SZA, making her acting debut, is a central focus of the movie's appeal.
SZA's Feature Film Debut and the Buddy Comedy Renaissance
One of the most compelling aspects driving the buzz around One of Them Days is SZA's transition from R&B icon to leading actress. While many musicians have made the leap to film, SZA's decision to star in an R-rated buddy comedy is an unexpected and exciting move for her massive fanbase.
Her role as Alyssa, the more grounded friend whose personal life causes the central conflict, provides a perfect foil to Keke Palmer's Dreux. Early reviews have highlighted SZA's natural comedic timing and on-screen presence, suggesting a successful new chapter in her career.
Furthermore, the film is being heralded as a welcome addition to the buddy comedy genre, particularly for its focus on two Black women. Director Lawrence Lamont and writer Syreeta Singleton—who is known for creating authentic, contemporary stories of Black women's lives—have crafted a narrative that feels both classic in its structure and fresh in its cultural perspective.
The inclusion of comedic heavyweights like Katt Williams, Lil Rel Howery, and Janelle James further solidifies the film's comedic pedigree. Their presence ensures that the central duo's journey is punctuated by memorable, side-splitting encounters that are characteristic of the best R-rated comedies.
With the theatrical run kicking off on January 17, 2025, followed by the digital release on February 11, and the Blu-ray arrival on April 1, audiences worldwide are poised to experience the chaos, heart, and humor of Dreux and Alyssa's unforgettable "one of them days."
