   This movie is one of my favorites. I bought it after the first time I saw it. It has an awesome cast and the movie is hilarious. Anna Faris is always so funny and this movie is so different, and so much fun. You apparently have to get the humor because I find this movie to be hilarious. Check it out!… Collapse

   Clever approach to comedy..... Some of the other reviews remind me of music reviews by people complaining that, "Radiohead sucks compared to Phil Collins."… Expand

   Anybody who saw Anna Faris spoof Cameron Diaz in Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" knew that the "Scary Movie"-franchise girl deserved her own comic showcase to let her freak-flag fly. "Smiley Face", an absurdist journey of a thoroughly baked Cali girl, will do. Unlike other motion pictures about potheads, this filmmaker made a shrewd move that sets "Smiley Face" apart from the "classic" Cheech and Chong movies of the late-seventies, or the more recent "How High". Jane is smart. She majored in economics. Early in the film, she explains to her dealer(Adam Brody) how Reaganomics and the concept of trickle-down economics aren't applicable to his pot business. Since we're aware of Jane's intelligence(she graduated summa; that's the top one percent of any particular class), this stoner flick becomes more than some innocuous knee-slapper about being high. "Smiley Face" is a tragicomic portrait of a young woman who wasted her potential. Even though "Smiley Face" has every requisite moment that you'd expect in this highly-specialized genre(the paranoia, the munchies, the quasi-profound nuggets of philosophy), all played for broad laughs, mind you; the film doesn't see drugs, even a "soft" drug like marijuana, as a laughing matter. Case and point: In a sausage-production factory, Jane gives a rabble-rousing speech about laborizing the work force that is both passionate and articulate, or at least she thinks she does. In actuality, Jane's manifesto is a series of starts and stops, digressions, and incoherent mutterings. Faris is laugh-out loud funny. Above all else, "Smiley Face" is a comedy first. But this druggie farce is a subversive one; unintentionally conservative in its ideology. Nancy Reagan was right. Just say no.… Expand

   If the image of Lucille Ball, (sorry kids, gotta look it up) drunk trying to imitate somebody high on pot, badly, sounds entertaining to you, see Smiley Face. It takes more than a twisted mouth held agape for ninety minutes uttering predictable dialog to make a space cadet movie. This movie seemed more like another dislocated attempt by the local police in thwarting teenage substance abuse. And that… Expand
