Even though she already has a good start on the day's planned drug use, she eats her roommate's pot-laced cupcakes and embarks on a series of misadventures all over Los Angeles.

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.

Despite its laid-back script, Smiley Face is as prankishly political as Mr. Araki's Doom Generation...

Dylan Haggerty has written an eleventh-hour candidate for the funniest movie of 2007, that Gregg Araki has directed his finest film since 1997's Nowhere, and that Faris, flawless, rocks their inspired idiot odyssey in a virtuoso comedic turn.

It has Anna Faris in full goofball mode, which is a treat, but she's the only element in the effort that's worth following, as the rest of the offering can't rise above dismal ideas for comedy.

This film-jam-packed with guest appearances-is a sweet, surreal nugget...

Mysterious Skin's brilliant Gregg Araki (with writer Dylan Haggerty) takes a filmmaker's version of a busman's holiday, telling the hilarious misadventures of a young woman who wolfs down a whole tray of her roommate's pot-laced cupcakes...

A great movie to watch when blazed! Anna Faris did a great job in acting the role of a dazed stoner. 5/5 from your local stoner :)

Anna Ferris is lots of fun to watch in this stoner comedy and the parade of familiar faces she comes across in her hero’s journey is impressive.
