One Of Them Days S4E6 Movie Review

Back into the second block of the Top 25 of 2025, Cade and Kit deliberately go hunting for something shorter after getting burned by too many long runtimes in the first round. They land on One of Them Days, a buddy comedy starring Keke Palmer and SZA, and it ends up being one of the easiest watches of the season so far. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 94% critics / 89% audience, which they find a little surprising for a buddy comedy, since those usually skew more audience-heavy. Still, after watching it, they get why critics responded: this one really works because the chemistry does.The movie follows two best friends over the course of a single chaotic day. One has just finished a night shift and needs to sleep before an important job interview later that afternoon. The other has trusted her deadbeat boyfriend with the rent money… and of course he’s disappeared. From there, the film becomes a countdown-to-eviction comedy where every possible solution gets more ridiculous: checking the boyfriend’s phone, chasing him to another woman’s apartment, trying a payday loan place, donating blood for cash, finding expensive sneakers on a wire, selling them, losing the money, getting chased by neighborhood chaos, and somehow still trying to hold onto the possibility of a better day by the end of it.What really lands for both of them is the rhythm. The movie is packed with physical comedy, but it always cuts back to the girls’ friendship in a way that makes the jokes hit harder. It’s not just random outrageous stuff happening to people; it’s the way the two leads react to it, process it, and keep moving. Keke Palmer especially gets a lot of love here for how expressive and funny she is physically, but they both agree SZA really holds her own too. The whole thing feels bright, fast, and specific, and they liked that it all takes place over one day without dragging the plot out beyond what it needs.By the end, Cade and Kit both land on a 4 out of 5. They’d recommend it, they’d rewatch it, and they think it nails what a buddy comedy is supposed to do: make you laugh, make you care about the friendship, and keep the pace moving without trying to be deeper than it needs to be. It’s silly, but clever silly — and that’s what makes it work.🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kaH2BpUcEouX5LWCUQ7ed?si=ff1e2b355c5944e1🍏 Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cade-and-kit/id1771553610📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://instagram.com/[email protected]
