Jane (Anna Faris), a struggling but perpetually stoned actress, has a busy day ahead. She has several important tasks on her list, including buying more marijuana. 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.

Lessons of Darkness

A limp, unfunny time-waster.

New York Times

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

Rated: 3.5/5

Nathan Lee

Village Voice

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.

Rated: D

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

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

Bay Area Reporter

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...

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.

This is a hidden gem of a stoner film. Anna is a true leading lady and I had a lot of fun with this movie. Tim Treakle

Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é ruim, o elenco é mais ou menos, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, eu não recomendo esse filme

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Hilarious stoner comedy. Adding to my list of favorites. I haven’t lmao this hard in a while. Anna Faris in this might be the best stoner imitation I’ve ever seen. I had zero expectations and this was shockingly amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.
