Netflix is on a roll with its latest offerings, but this highly scored Rotten Tomatoes flick is being hailed as one of the best of this year.
Gone are the days where 'Netflix and Chill' was mandatory because you just couldn’t find something to watch.
Instead, we’re all cozied up on the couch with our snacks, blanket and gallons of soda to keep us right where we want to be: in front of the TV.
So, when people began to realize that this hilarious comedy had dropped, you’d better believe that they immediately checked it out… and they were not disappointed.

In fact, they’ve done nothing but praise it since.
This comedy follows besties and roommates, Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA), who find out that that Alyssa's deadbeat boyfriend has spent all of their rent money.
With their landlord demanding that they pay his rent otherwise they’ll be evicted and homeless, the pair race against time in a bid to raise their $1,500… but hilarity follows them.
This 10/10 Rotten Tomatoes hit is directed by Lawrence Lamont, produced by Issa Rae, stars the likes of Palmer, whose been in projects such as Nope and Scream Queens, and singer SZA in this funny flick.
Not only did viewers love to see the pair getting into crazy situations, but when legendary comedian Kat Williams follows, you know it’s going to be good.
Remember when he was in Eddie Murphy’s Norbit? Yeah, that’s the level of hilarity he’s bringing to this hit too.
It cast also features TikTok star Joshua David Neal and Euphoria actress Maude Apatow, so the casting is just… chef’s kiss.
Anyway, One of Them Days premiered in January and people have been loving it ever since.
Some people even said it gives the same vibe as the stoner classic, Friday.
Movie lovers on Rotten Tomatoes scored the comedy at 94 per cent rating and shared that it is well deserving of the score.
One person wrote: "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."
Another described it as ‘nothing short of chaotic but in a really entertaining, really funny, heart-warming sort of way’, adding: "This movie had me falling out of my seat with laughter. I could not get enough of Keke and SZA and am already craving more of them."
Someone else said: "Keke Palmer might be my new favorite actress after this. Great performances all around, couldn’t stop laughing. Must watch."
A critic penned: “Arguably, in One of Them Days, there ain't nothin' goin' on but the rent, but a magnetic Keke Palmer, paired with SZA's enticing foil, succeeds in not only an effervescent and charming buddy comedy but a beautifully shot tribute....”
There’s just something about watching two women run around in their car, hoping to cash in on their luck, but continuously getting tripped up at every turn that gets people going.
The cast definitely doesn’t hurt either.
