Profile of Smiley Face

Its comic aspect comes from a comedy of errors and farce. Smiley Face's main genres are comedy and independent. In terms of style, it is surreal. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Smiley Face is located in the USA. It takes place in contemporary times. It is well suited for teens. Note that Smiley Face involves drugs/alcohol and profanity.

Summary of Smiley Face

Anna Faris (SCARY MOVIE, MY SUPER EX-GIRLFRIEND) stars in this pot-fuelled comedy as Jane, a clumsy aspiring actress whose tendency to find herself in odd situations gets in the way of her finding success. SMILEY FACE follows Jane's attempts to finally check some items off her ever-growing to-do list, but introduces several humorous obstacles along her way, including some mysteriously delicious cupcakes. THE OFFICE's John Krasinkski co-stars as a nerdy stalker, and THE OC's Adam Brody appears in dreadlocks. Both critics and Jane's cinematic stoner brethren--from Harold and Kumar to Cheech and Chong--are sure to find much to like in this hilarious film.

Despite its laid-back script, “Smiley Face” is as prankishly political as Mr. Araki’s “Doom Generation,” evincing a deep unease with the media-saturated capitalist nation that Jane crawls inside her bong to escape. Full Review

TV Guide

Working from a script by TV actor Dylan Haggerty, Araki manages to capture what he's been trying to say all along about the lives of the stoned and indifferent with the kind of effortlessness those earlier attempts sorely lacked. Full Review

Not for the sober.

I turned this on because I was in the mood for something fun and lighthearted, something that I did not need to pay much attention to, that i could just laugh at without getting too involved in plot and story substance. What I got was a mediocre... Read and rate it
