Kat Sachs Chicago Reader Keke Palmer and SZA have incredible presences by themselves and out-of-this-world chemistry together. Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Layla Brown-Clark Chicago Reader One of Them Days stands on its own, as Palmer and SZA have undeniable chemistry onscreen and officially claim their place as a modern-day buddy duo. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com Feels like it was ripped from the past and updated with a modern feminist twist. A raucous, R-rated comedy. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Tatiana King For All Nerds Podcast Generally solid, buddy movie that's entertaining enough. Keke and SZA make for a compatible team that plays well off of one another. The level of comedy varies throughout the film, but its still appealing and has enough players for story expansion. Rated: B Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Linda Cook OurQuadCities / WHBF-TV (Illinois) Take your BFF so you can LOL. Rated: 4 stars Feb 7, 2025 Full Review M.V. Moorhead Phoenix Magazine Most of [the slapstick sequences] are wearisomely heavy-handed or gross-out schticks in the contemporary comedy manner. But this modest movie... is endearing anyway, because it’s an old-school buddy comedy, and a portrait of a community. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
