Keke Palmer says her new film with SZA continues a tradition of side-splitting Black comedies with an important message.

The Keke Palmer buddy comedy “One of Them Days” has opened in first place on the North American box office charts on a particularly slow Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

Part of the pleasure of their journey is seeing who they’ll encounter along the way. “One of Them Days” though, blessedly, is not packed with super famous people. Instead, the obstacles for Dreux and Alyssa are simply played by sharp comic actors at the top of their game.
