The how-will-they-get-the-money? plot, punctuated by a countdown clock that periodically stops the action, catapults our heroines from one situation to the next, but the real subject of "One of Them Days" is simply the people they keep meeting.

Two friends race to avoid eviction in this comedy directed by Lawrence Lamont and co-starring Vanessa Bell Calloway, Lil Rel Howery, Katt Williams, Janelle James and Maude Apatow.

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.
