Slacker actress Jane F(Anna Faris), is having a bad day that is getting more outrageous by the minute. Jane?s misadventures begin when she treats herself to a batch of cupcakes left unattended by her psycho roommate (Danny... more » Masterson) that prove not as innocent as they appear. She then bums a ride from her roommate?s friend (John Krasinski)and attempts to cross town so she can repay an unforgiving drug dealer, attend an audition, and somehow replace the precious cupcakes. Enjoy the wild journey as Jane?s efforts to get through her day prove an arduous task of epic proportions.« less
A decent stoner film starring comedic cutie Anna Faris. Stoned by 9AM with a day of tasks ahead of her, she manages to screw just about everything up. The best part was the destruction of an original manuscript of The Communist Manifesto.

Rare- a woman-centered weed-movie that rocks

"For fans of Harold & Kumar, Half-Baked, Cheech and Chong, etc. this film may hold limited appeal. It doesn't star buddy-buddy man-boys, it isn't very sexist or homophobic, and it has humor, references and film technique that occasionally rise above the level of a sit-com. What it also has is an absolutely brilliant central performance by the eternally-underrated Anna Faris, who would be this generation's Diane Keaton if anyone in Hollywood understood what to do with her.
Gregg Araki revisits many of the themes of his career from a totally fresh and unexpected perspective. It's not realistic or terribly meaningful and it isn't supposed to be. It's just pure, delicious fun.
I've read some comments elsewhere that claim this film is anti-drug: ridiculous. Jane's actions have consequences but she doesn't seem particularly upset by it in the end. Every weed-movie of recent years including all those I mentioned above have featured people getting busted, cops, moralism, paranoia, and unrealistic hallucinations/behaviors to some degree. The only difference here in terms of content is that it stars a woman and is entirely about her experience. If you find that bothersome it might be worth asking yourself why."

"This was one of the most ridiculous, pointless, repetitive and funniest movies I've ever seen. Anna Faris is at her stoniest possible. I don't do drugs, but let me say, this movie will mess you up."
Wonderful change of pace

"Smiley Face is a great, funny, and stimulating change of pace from the normal stoner comedies. Yeah, sure it's exaggerated, but the best ones ARE! ^_^ Wonderful, funny movie. Jane Lynch rocks it! Anna Faris is the new face of Comedy."

"This was one of the better movies I have seen lately. The star is a gal who grows on you throughout the movie. She is darling and funny as all get out. Just a light, funny, enjoyable laugh. Had to put it in my collection."
