The first trailer for Sony’s upcoming comedy One of Them Days has dropped, featuring Keke Palmer and SZA in an outrageous buddy comedy that’s already turning heads.
The film follows Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), two best friends who find themselves in a financial bind after Alyssa’s boyfriend squanders their rent money. What follows is a madcap adventure as the duo tries to scrape together enough cash to avoid eviction, by any means necessary.
From donating blood for quick cash to daring attempts at rescuing pricey Jordans from a telephone pole, Dreux and Alyssa stop at nothing. Even their dubious loan application, despite their less-than-stellar credit, is part of the hilarity as they hustle to make ends meet.
This R-rated comedy marks several exciting firsts: it’s SZA’s acting debut and the feature directorial debut of Lawrence Lamont. Behind the scenes, the script is crafted by Syreeta Singleton and comes from Issa Rae’s production company, Hoorae. Fans of Rae’s series Rap Sh!t might recognize this creative team—Singleton served as showrunner and Lamont directed several episodes of the hit show, making this film a reunion of sorts.
The star-studded cast also includes comedy heavyweights like Lil Rel Howery and Katt Williams, along with Janelle James, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Maude Apatow, and many more. With a lineup like this, One of Them Days promises laughs, chaos, and a whole lot of heart.
One of Them Days in theatres on January 24.
