Movie Reviews of Smiley Face
Movie Review: Rare- a woman-centered weed-movie that rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of Smiley Face
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 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.Similar DVD Movies
