Fans of SZA and Keke Palmer have finally been treated to a sneak peek of their upcoming chaotic buddy comedy, One Of Them Days. The newly released trailer, dropped on October 24, promises a fun, high-energy story with plenty of laughs and emotional moments.
Plot Highlights: Friendship, Chaos, and Comedy
In the 2-minute 32-second trailer, SZA and Keke Palmer play Alyssa and Dreux, two best friends grappling with life’s challenges. The opening scene sets the tone as Dreux (Palmer) waits for Alyssa (SZA) to pick her up from work. Alyssa arrives late in a rundown car, offering a cascade of excuses. Things spiral out of control when Alyssa’s boyfriend steals their rent money, thrusting the duo into a wild journey of mishaps and chaos.
The film is directed by Issa Rae and boasts a talented supporting cast, including:
- Lil Rel Howery
- Janelle James (Abbott Elementary)
- Katt Williams
SZA’s Take on Acting
This project marks a significant step for SZA, as it’s her first time starring in a movie. Despite her initial nerves, she embraced the challenge, even sharing a humorous story about her interactions with co-star Katt Williams.
“Katt told me I was mentally ill, as a compliment,” she joked during an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “He said, ‘Sa, I believe you might have some mental—’ and I finished it with, ‘Illness?’ He just nodded. It was an interesting welcome.”
Rekindling Chemistry with Keke Palmer
Fans will see SZA and Keke Palmer revisit the dynamic they showcased during their memorable Saturday Night Live episode in 2022. Their comedic timing and chemistry are set to be highlights of the film.
SZA’s Versatility Beyond Music
SZA continues to explore new horizons beyond her music career. In July, she shared a video of herself meeting gymnast Simone Biles, a personal idol, and reminisced about her own gymnastics background. “I realized I wasn’t going to be a national gymnast, so I pivoted to something else where I could compete—music,” SZA said in the video.
With a mix of humor, heart, and star power, One Of Them Days is shaping up to be a must-watch film in early 2024. Whether you’re a fan of SZA’s music, Keke Palmer’s acting, or chaotic comedies with a heartfelt twist, this movie promises something for everyone.
