critics 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. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Smiley Face

May 26, 2016

Arguably Anna Faris' best performance, it's not amazing but it's not dull either. I didn't like any of the characters but given that it had a banging soundtrack, I can forgive Araki.

Its really funny until you realize that smoking pot can ruin your life in less than 24 hours. I liked it since it actually had a realistic view of what its like being smacked and how other people see you. Dealer: "You're going to have to pay me" Anna Faris: Oh my GOD! Are you going to kill me?! Dealer: "No Im a pot dealer, Ill probably take your couch or something" hahahahah

Compared to the films I have seen her in lately Anna Faris is hilarious! But the movie is just all over the place and gets kinda boring near the end.

Fuck. Just get high and watch Smiley Face and appreciate its complete loopiness and the incredible perceptiveness with which it depicts stoned behavior. The only times it falters is when it breaks the illusion with something vaguely out of place (Anna Faris's meat factory diatribe), but chances are if you're watching the movie correctly you'll probably laugh anyway. Not for everyone, obviously, but sure to please its intended audience.
