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...

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

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...

Faris's prodigious comic gifts can only go so far with a one-note premise.

I watched this movie twice in a row, then once a day for three days in a row. I gut wrenchingly laughed throughout each viewing. I can't believe. I thought for sure the novelty would wear off after first watch. This movie captures the essence of what being stoned feels like for many. It's absolutely hilarious.

Smiley Face is such a neat little indie gem. It's not the Godfather, but it's a fun trip that has a lot of good laughs. It feels like the entire movie is just stoned. Like the film reel anthropomorphized and sparked up a joint. The movie is so perfectly scatter-brained. It's great, man.

Seriously underrated movie. I probably wouldn't have got it if I hadn't also accidentally eaten too much edibles one time before I saw it. I'm sure the writers also ate too much also. If you haven't smoked pot you may think that's what being high is like. It's not. If you smoked pot but never ate too much edibles you may think this move is exaggerating, it's not. They did a great job showing what it feels like and the challenge of doing everyday tasks. Super funny when you realize what's she's experiencing is pretty spot on.

This movie is so bad and super annoying I'm a stoner and this movie just irritated me so bad I couldn't even finish watching it. I love Anna Faris but this movie was really disappointing. Idk what the makers were thinking with this one. So disappointed 😞..
