7 Best Keke Palmer Movies

By Vlad Zakh · December 31, 2025

Keke Palmer has been a working actress since childhood and used that longevity to move between family films, sharp comedy and increasingly ambitious genre work. Nope investigates a presence above a ranch, Alice escapes a plantation into the 1970s, Hustlers scams Wall Street clients after the crash, and One of Them Days scrambles two roommates for rent money. Akeelah and the Bee, Joyful Noise and Brotherly Love round out the list.
