Smiley Face

A film marred by preconceived notions of what "stoner" and "comedy" mean in the phrase "stoner comedy," Smiley Face is one of the funniest comedies of the decade, yes, but it is also devilishly clever. The plot is slight and purposely undercooked: Jane eats "special" cupcakes and has a day. The movie lies in her adventure, and it delivers relentlessly. This light-hearted romp is impeccably shaped, each character given their own distinct aesthetic palette. Watch it again; it's in the details.

Great performance by Anna Faris.

Anna Faris is golden in this movie!

I hated this totally unfunny garbage so much that I had actually successfully forgotten that it existed. Until now. Damn it.

Wanders, drifts, nods off, gets lost, munches, pontificates, gets really paranoid. Am I allowed to criticize a stoner comedy for acting stoned? I'll wait on an answer to that and, in the mean time, knock it for not being funny instead. Faris dives in admirably deep and rides the character perfectly, but there's little definition to the meandering production; this might have been better as a short or recurring SNL sketch, where we could get some breathing room away from the haze.

Anna Faris does an excellent job at playing a stoner. The script is simple but affective. There are plenty of funny, weird and interesting moments during this movie. There are also plenty of funny small roles in this comedy.

All I can say about Smiley Face is that it's a simple-minded comedy made for simple-minded folks who, well, smoke marijuana. If you don't, there are still a few laughs to be found, but the film assuredly isn't for everyone.

Unfunny tripe. I watched this while completely baked and couldn't even finish it. Not ONE SINGLE laugh.

The film overall lacks punch, but I did like how messy and surrealistic it all was. And Anna Faris sure can make mediocre material work wonderfully!

Absolutely worthless, I don't think there was a single laugh in the whole thing.

I love when people totally misrepresent what weed does to people.

Unfunny and very long. Some cameos only interesting due to how younger the actors were then

Most stoner comedies hold you at a distance to observe with bemusement, this one holds you hostage inside the protagonist's skull and is too honked out of its gourd to remember where it misplaced the key. Funniest possible use of Styx.

Way funnier than it has any right to be, and Anna Faris is amazing

It gets tiring to watch at points, but I liked it overall. Very ugly movie (complimentary).

The best lesson you will ever get in Reaganomics and the importance of a comfortable bed. Anna Faris really is one of the most engaging film actors/actresses of the past 30 years (no joke).

Pretty good stoner comedy that chooses to go with the overblown exaggerated stereotypes. Faris pulls it off enough to keep you watching.

"420"

Funny movie.

About as funny as a stoner-comedy directed by Gregg Araki. Oh wait

Anna Faris deserves better.

Gregg Araki is a ridiculously uneven director. I really liked "Mysterious Skin" and I also enjoyed some of his wilder films like "Kaboom". But, this one is just very unfunny and feels too long even if it barely runs for 80mins. It's an agony to hang out with Faris' character after first 5 mins. This is also the first Araki film that is really bland visually and it's astonishing that this actually played at Cannes. Luckily Araki bounced back from this one.

So silly

who the fuck let this movie go into production? what a waste of money and time.

Just a little too ridiculous and over-the-top. I'm typically a fan of Araki, but this is not one of his better offerings.

I'm pretty sure if I watched sober, it wouldn't be funny at all

I tried to like this movie. I really did. I love a good stoner comedy, and I love Farris. But while there are a few fun laughs earlier on in the movie, by the end you're just shaking your head and thinking, "This kind of thing is why cannabis is still illegal."

A young woman has a bunch of horrible things happen to her because she gets high. "Just Say No" script could have been written by Nancy Reagan and is a total downer. Love Anna Faris though.

Anna Faris does a terrific performance in this. If only the rest of the film had a bit more punch to it to match her instead of having a pace as half baked as the main character.

Rewatched.

I laughed harder reading nosferatuman's review than at any point watching this lazy crap. Made me feel embarrassed to smoke weed.

Hard to tell if this movie is as dumb as it seems or if there is more than meets the eye. Anna Faris sure pulls some amusing stoner faces and there are numerous interesting directorial choices which bring a freshness and in-your-face style. Several very funny moments, but also times where it drags awfully. Araki has some talent, but also seems to have a self-destructive side. Possibly funnier if you're stoned... even so it stood out more than a lot of blander, more generic comedies.

Mediocre pot comedy with a grating performance from Anna Faris, who seems to forget she's not in the Scary Movie franchise anymore.

Sure, it ain't Up In Smoke, but as far as stoner comedies goes there are much much worse films out there. I actually saw it twice.

Much better stoner film than Pineapple Express. Worth a watch.

Really annoying

not so good

GREGG ARAKI BENI BU FILMIYLE SON DERECE HAYAL KIRIKLIGINA UGRATMISTIR..

Tostidos and orange juice

Oh my god! I don't think a whole cannabis farm could make me laugh at this worthless attempt of a "movie".

Mildly amusing and incredibly stupid pot movie. Don't watch sober.
