Consensus: Although many of the jokes have been done before, Anna Faris's bright performance and Gregg Araki's sharp direction make Smiley Face more than your average stoner comedy.
Theatrical Release:Nov 16, 2007 Limited
Synopsis: Jane F., an unsuccessful slacker actress, is having a bad day. And it’s getting more outrageous and comically surreal by the minute. Smiley Face is a freewheeling, cinematically stylized After... [More]

Reviews for Smiley Face
Basically a sketch padded out to feature length, the film constantly hovers on the edge between amiable and annoying.
12/17/07
A tedious, empty-headed stoner film focusing on a female pothead, who's limited to one facial expression and lines such as "I'm totally vibing on you, dude," has arrived just in time to greet the New Year. Santa must have thought we were very, very bad.
12/13/07
...there's simply no overlooking the pervading vibe of silliness.
01/09/08
Viewers who like midnight movies will be disappointed by this trifle.
07/01/07
Araki's latest is surprisingly mellow in its examination of ganja-fueled apathy.
12/19/07
It's, at best, half-baked.
11/15/07
amusingly off-kilter

Smiley Face semble avoir été écrit en quatrième vitesse sur un coin de table par un étudiant passant le plus clair de son temps caché à fumer autre chose que des cigarettes
08/07/08
A pure, mostly dumb comedy, it's the tale of one impossibly out-of-it girl, Anna Faris' Jane F., who spends her day stumbling from mishap to mishap in an effort to avoid her drug dealer's wrath.
03/16/07
The jokes have been done before and better. It's incredibly tedious.
03/13/07
Maybe this is funny if you're actually stoned. When taken sober, not so much.
12/26/07
Faris's prodigious comic gifts can only go so far with a one-note premise.
12/27/08
A limp, unfunny time-waster.
10/22/08
It’s a blast.
11/15/07
Gregg Araki's latest foray into the slacker underbelly of suburban L.A., Smiley Face, has a wonderful performance by Anna Faris and one of the all-time great stoner monologues in movie history.
01/24/07
Top CriticA fast-moving, surprisingly varied take on a pretty standard concept: It’s basically Martin Scorsese’s After Hours Lite, as told by Cheech and Chong.
11/19/07
Smiley Face belongs to Faris, an actress who is some kind of treasure.
12/21/07
In Faris, pic has a comedienne with the ability to wring endless variations on a limited theme (the 'I'm-so-baked' one) and she pretty much single-handedly compensates for anything lacking.
01/27/07
Top CriticThis is a full-force, all-purpose performance by Faris with the kind of grace that would get winks from the likes of silent screen greats.
