Diplomas in hand. Dreams on pause. Reality… unfiltered.
One of Them Days: Graduation Daze is the brutally funny, painfully relatable coming-of-age comedy that proves growing up doesn’t stop after high school — it just gets messier. With a cast that nails the Gen Z spiral to perfection, this sequel dives headfirst into the chaotic void between graduation caps and tax forms.
Plot Summary: Real Life Just Logged In
College is over, and “the real world” is very real. For three friends trying to make it in a city that charges $9 for coffee, life is not going according to plan.
The overachiever is underpaid. The tech bro can’t get past a phone interview. And the roommate? She just wants vibes.
When a surprise reunion with an old classmate forces them to confront how far they’ve come — or haven’t — things spiral from awkward to disastrous in a weekend that involves karaoke shame, ghosted job offers, and one particularly cursed brunch.
New Lead Cast: Chaos with Chemistry
Ayo Edebiri plays the high-achieving, straight-A grad discovering that ambition doesn’t always pay the rent — or health insurance.
Justice Smith brings charm and anxiety to a would-be tech genius stuck in a feedback loop of rejection emails and motivational podcasts.
Rachel Sennott thrives as the unpredictable, hilarious roommate who derails every plan but somehow keeps the group together.
Themes to Watch For
Post-Grad Panic
The future is now, and nobody’s ready.
Friendship in Freefall
Some bonds break. Others bend. All of them get weird after college.
Trying and Failing and Laughing Anyway
Adulting is a comedy of errors. Emphasis on comedy.
Why This Film Works
One of Them Days: Graduation Daze hits the sweet spot between cringe and catharsis. With razor-sharp writing, a cast with perfect comedic timing, and moments that feel ripped straight from real group chats, the film offers a hilarious — and oddly comforting — look at what happens when your twenties don’t go as planned.
It’s not a breakdown.
It’s just one of them days.
