When best friends and roommates Dreux and Alyssa discover Alyssa's boyfriend has blown their rent money, the duo finds themselves going to extremes in a race against the clock to avoid eviction and keep their friendship intact.

At first, this film Feels like it’s Going to be the female version of FRIDAY. It’s not so much a hang-out movie as the characters keep running around the city. Though like that film there are plenty of colorful characters.

The humor is also a little More Lightweight, as at times it feels like it could go further but it keeps holding itself back to be less wacky and a bit more Realistic. 

The film is entertaining and likable enough. Though the comedy there is. Nothing exceptional except Again it’s nice to see two female Characters in a comedy. They get into all sorts of adventures and shenanigans and aren’t necessarily Portrayed as angels, but as good at heart.

Especially one staring at two African American females that are as smart as it is silly and doesn’t feel like it’s Talking down nor above the audience. 

The Film Stays fun throughout. Though both the leads are way better than the material they make it work with their chemistry and energy. Keke Palmer deserves better scripts and roles. She clearly is having the time of her life.

One admires her for her natural charisma On Screen and has usually been solid in her roles. As she is a former child Star has kept working over the years and only recently started getting recognized for her talent and getting bigger and better roles. As here she is the more responsible of the duo.

Sza plays the second lead the more free-spirited of the duo. Also the more comedic one and she makes a memorable acting debit 

As always in comedies some Of the best things about the film And script are the supporting characters those who are predictable and unpredictable.

The only part that could have been worked on or tighter could have been the third-act villain out of nowhere. 

It’s a film that moves fast and isn’t too deep keeps Up the momentum, and never slows down 

Grade: B-
