It's already garnered a 94% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics and a 90% score from audience reviewers on the site's Popcornmeter.
The plot centers on Dreux (Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), best friends and roommates facing eviction after Alyssa's boyfriend absconds with their rent money. With a 6 p.m. deadline to secure $1,500, the pair embarks on a chaotic and hilarious adventure to recover the funds.

RogerEbert.com's Peyton Robinson, while noting some "too-obvious performance choices" and "incompatible cameos," praised the film as "a rewarding win on account of the stumbles it took to get there," awarding it 3 out of 4 stars. The Guardian's Adrian Horton described it as "a bumpy ride, albeit an overall enjoyable one," highlighting the believable characters and consistent energy, also giving it a 3-star rating. Horton further noted that "For the still too-rare, Black-led female theatrical comedy, 'One of Them Days' has a tendency for overkill, but makes its moment count."
The Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus summarizes the film as "Dishing out enough laughter and chemistry to spare through Keke Palmer and SZA, One of Them Days makes the buddy-comedy genre feel like magic once again." The audience summary adds, "With throwback Friday vibes, Keke and SZA up the ante on the buddy comedy and make One of Them Days a hilarious ride worth a full month’s rent." For SZA, the film marks her first starring role in a feature film. The movie runs 97 minutes and is rated R for language, sexual material, and brief drug use. "One of Them Days" is available now for streaming on Netflix; subscription options range from $7.99 to $24.99 per month depending on features and screen count.
