‘One of Them Days’ Trailer: Keke Palmer and SZA, in Her Acting Debut, Do Anything to Make Rent Money in R-Rated Buddy Comedy
variety.comJack Dunn Sony has released the first trailer for “One of Them Days,” its R-rated buddy comedy pairing Keke Palmer with SZA, in the Grammy-winning R&B artist’s acting debut. “Best friends and roommates Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) are about to have one of them days,” the logline says. “When they discover Alyssa’s boyfriend has blown their rent money, the duo finds themselves going to extremes in a comical race against the clock to avoid eviction and keep their friendship intact.” The trailer shows the lengths the two friends go to for their rent money, including donating blood, climbing a telephone pole to retrieve a pair of expensive Jordans and applying for a loan despite a hilariously low credit score.
Lawrence Lamont makes his feature directorial debut, helming a script by Syreeta Singleton. The project comes from Issa Rae‘s banner Hoorae.
Singleton and Lamont first collaborated on the set of Rae’s hip-hop drama “Rap Sh!t,” where Singleton was the showrunner and Lamont served as director for a handful of episodes.
Palmer and SZA are joined by supporting players Lil Rel Howery, Janelle James, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Maude Apatow, Katt Williams, Joshua Neal, Aziza Scott and Patrick Cage.
