Having now watched One of Them Days, would I now like to have one of them days myself? Yes, but minus the financial instability. Although I suppose we all need something to light a fire to get us going. But it’s also important to have a support system to fall back on. Anyway, Dreux (Keke Palmer) and Alyssa (SZA) certainly go through quite the stressful ordeal, but along the way they also make some new friends, meet Katt Williams, and realize new creative and professional horizons. I call that a win! Plus, the honey butter biscuits at Church’s Chicken are SOOO good.* (*-I’ve never actually been to a Church’s, but I’m choosing to trust the ecstasy I saw on screen.)
