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.

| Original Score: D | Feb 26, 2025

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

| Dec 8, 2021

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...

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 17, 2011

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

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 27, 2008

A limp, unfunny time-waster.

| Original Score: C | Oct 22, 2008

Anna Faris receives a well-deserved spotlight role, and her funniest character to date, in director Gregg Araki's stoner comedy Smiley Face.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 28, 2008

Smiley Face semble avoir t crit en quatrime vitesse sur un coin de table par un tudiant passant le plus clair de son temps cach fumer autre chose que des cigarettes

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 7, 2008

This stoner romp is great farcical fun, even if it never seems to get anywhere.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 20, 2008

Anna Faris is radiantly daft; she keeps the movie going all by herself.

| Original Score: C | Jan 18, 2008

...there's simply no overlooking the pervading vibe of silliness.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 9, 2008

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 28, 2007

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.

Maybe this is funny if you're actually stoned. When taken sober, not so much.

| Dec 26, 2007

Working from a script by 온라인카지노추천 actor Dylan Haggerty, [director] 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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 26, 2007

It's a fittingly loose, shambling little nothing of a comedy that's occasionally inspired, but at least a draft or two short of its potential. Still, it's a pleasure to watch Faris wander slack-jawed through a surreal day in Los Angeles.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Dec 26, 2007

One shudders to think what Smiley Face might have been with someone like Paris Hilton in the role. But Faris has this character -- a bright, sweet college graduate with a temporarily incapacitated brain -- down perfect.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 26, 2007

Anna Faris is alternately hilarious and annoying in this stoner comedy.

| Original Score: B | Dec 23, 2007

This is a full-force, all-purpose performance by Faris with the kind of grace that would get winks from the likes of silent screen greats.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 21, 2007

Smiley Face belongs to Faris, an actress who is some kind of treasure.
