Keke Palmer’s One Of Them Days Officially Broke 11 Rotten Tomatoes Records

One of Them Days was one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2025 so far, coming in with a very small budget and managing to become a hit, hearkening back to the glory days of the buddy comedy genre. The film was able to become a huge financial success, sailing past multiple box office milestones throughout its first month of release. Beyond that, One of Them Days reviews hail it as one of the better movies of the year so far, even managing to break multiple Rotten Tomatoes records for its cast and crew.

One of Them Days told the story of best friends Dreux and Alyssa, played by Keke Palmer and SZA, as they raced across LA to earn enough money to pay their rent and not get evicted. The film was musician SZA’s first cinematic role, while Keke Palmer starred opposite her, not to mention produced it alongside industry icon Issa Rae. From its beginning to One of Them Days’ end, the movie managed to keep its audience engaged, resulting in the record-breaking success seen by the film on Rotten Tomatoes, even for the performers who have had big hits before.

Keke Palmer was definitely the biggest name attached to the project, at least in terms of Hollywood star power, as she is a very successful actress with numerous big hits under her belt. Despite her career portfolio, One of Them Days still managed to become Palmer’s best Rotten Tomatoes movie thus far. The film currently has a 95% positive Tomatometer score, with an average rating of 7.2/10, which is easily her best outing, in both producing and acting, at least when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes.

One Of Them Days Sets New Highs On Rotten Tomatoes For 10 Other Individuals

The Film Has Been Setting Records Left And Right

With One of Them Days‘ Rotten Tomatoes score, it has also earned plenty of other cast members, as well as the director, their highest-scoring project on the website, which makes sense considering the film isn’t as chock-full of huge stars as many other Hollywood movies. However, there are still some bigger names that have been in some larger productions that this project set a record for, alongside several individuals who managed to snag One of Them Days as their debut film on the website.

While One of Them Days would automatically be the highest-scoring project for any of the cast and crew that made their Rotten Tomatoes film debut with the movie, it is still an extremely impressive accomplishment, and likely a record that will stand for years as these people find their way into more projects. Director Lawrence Lamont is hopefully going to be able to find his way into the director’s chair for many more films, considering One of Them Days‘ mᴀssive success, and he will likely be hard-pressed to break this record.
