That was an excellent one.

Really Surprised!

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I like cannabis and I do know its effect on people. Unfortunately, Anna Faris (actor of Jane) seems to have never have consumed cannabis before. Her acting looks as if the director told her just to be really weird, while she should make the dumbest face that she can for most of the time. Her acting is more than as if she were drunken with a small dosage of psychedelics than just being "baked" with marijuana.The script is crap, the story is boring, and the film is completely unrealistic. The biggest mistake I see is the wrong display of the effects of a high dosage of cannabis. Even with a extremely high dosage of a dozen cupcakes, someone would not have hallucinations and be as abrasive as Jane is; she would rather be just very, very sleepy and lacking in concentration, or even feel sick.Also, this is kind of dangerous if kids or people without drugs experience watch it. They will get an unrealistic impression of the effects of cannabis, leading to a false fear - or even disappointment when they try cannabis for themselves and don't experience a wild effect like Jane does in this movie.

"Smiley Face" stars Anna Faris as Jane, a young woman who accidentally consumes several cupcakes laced with cannabis. The film was directed by Gregg Araki, one of the leading voices in the New Queer movement. Araki's films tend to be about characters whose private realities are out of sync with or rejected by a wider society. Populated by homosexuals, lesbians and runaways, his films are filled with lost souls looking for connection, affirmation, and who struggle to create some new mode of "family" outside of traditional social units.We see variations of such themes in "Smiley Face". Structured as a journey from A (the letter on Jane's computer keyboard) to Z (the letter on a Ferris wheel), the film portrays Jane as a castaway, a little girl locked in a private world which everyone rejects or deems warped. Much of the film consists of Jane lost in a hallucinogenic haze, bumbling about town as she bounces from one misadventure to the next. But unlike most stoner comedies, Araki's film takes the form of tragedy. Smiley faces, drugs and a cute personality hide what is really a wounded little girl.Araki's films have always been about characters driven to nihilism by a cruel, uncaring or banal world. In "Smiley Face" this social morass is alluded to only tangentially. "This situation is totally f***ed up!" Jane cries. And later: "Let's start the revolution!". Elsewhere she talks of a society of masters and serfs, battles with repossessors wanting to take her furniture, frets over utility bills, money, job security and even empty bank accounts. Araki also includes scenes in which Jane – stoned out of her mind – gives a rabble-rousing speech in which she advises the workers of a literal meat grinder to unionise and stand up for labour rights. Significantly, the owner of this factory is one Herbert Spencer, Spencer being he who coined the "survival of the fittest" adage. We also learn that Jane was an "economics student", is very intelligent and was in the top one percent of her class. "Economics didn't really work out," she then admits, the film's only hint at the girl's troubled past.But the film isn't just the tragicomic portrait of a young woman whose potential goes wasted, but one of a girl who wishes for inclusion. Araki even goes so far as to feature papers from Karl Marx's "Communist Manifesto" washing over the film's social-cross section. With such scenes, Jane's Utopian idealism and class-consciousness bleed into her personal anxieties regarding exclusion, abandonment and even persecution. Unlike previous Araki heroes, Jane doesn't yearn for family or sexual acceptance, but of a bigger sense of kinship and connection. The film then ends with Jane imprisoned and collecting garbage – the absolute bottom of the social pecking order – whilst Speedwagon's "Keep on Loving You" croons, the lyrics "You should have seen by the look in my eyes, there was something missing. You should have known by the tone of my voice, but you didn't listen" alluding to Jane's spaced out persona, yes, but also the in-plain-sight cries of whole chunks of society which routinely go unnoticed. Because these themes are less overt than Araki's previous films, with their sexually abused kids and tormented homosexuals, the ironically titled "Smiley Face" tends to be read as a straightforward comedy.Beyond all this, "Smiley Face" is well acted by Farris. She's delightful, but the film has some pacing problems and is rarely as funny as it could be. Araki's symbolism is also rather perplexing: characters talk of "generous packages", there are close ups of the "Bjs" on beer-bottles (blow jobs?), a subplot about a man who sexually penetrates skulls, and another in which a young man is drilled in the mouth by dentists. These phallic allusions (Araki is himself gay) are confusing. Other symbolism is funny: "Face" opens with Jane literally "high" in the air, for example, and contains a scene in which Jane refuses to drive her car in order to avoid a crash, yet still crushes a car whilst on a bus. Poor girl.7.9/10 – See "The Big Lebowski".

This is a great reason not to do drugs, or eat things that don't belong to you. I found this movie hilarious and teaches a great lesson - don't do drugs.Anna Faris was perfect for the role of Jane F. because Faris can play a clueless girl on a one day adventure perfectly. At first, I thought this was going to be a horrible movie, then it got really good. This cast is great. Danny Masterson and Jane Lynch were perfect. This is, in my opinion, one of the best movies with Anna Faris in it. In my opinion, its one of the best movies ever. I recommend buying or renting it, but don't show it to little kids. Drug use and language.

Jane is a regular pot user who today has to fit an audition and paying her electricity bill into her usual routine of getting high. Seems easy enough but when the temptation is too great to eat her flat mates cupcake's she quickly discovers they are made with a huge amount of weed. Unbelievably high, Jane believes she can pay off her dealer, remake the cupcakes, get the audition and make it in time to pay the electricity bill. Of course she believes that – she is high.Someone gushed about this film at me in general terms so I added it to the list to see without knowing much about it other than it was quirky and funny. The plot is pretty straightforward and it could be from any stoner movie since it involves one odd scenario after another, all of which are made odder and harder by Jane's mental state. The film starts with a lot of energy and imagination and it is engaging for the first 30 minutes or so. After this period though the novelty value of the presentation does wear off a little bit and it starts to get a little stale; the plotting doesn't really matter but it keeps moving along. The laughs are key and they are also hit and miss. The tone of the film is a bit more "stable" than the wilder and OTT nonsense of other stoner films but the downside of this is that the wilder OTT laughs are absent. There are plenty to be had but mostly the film is "amusing" rather than hilarious. It looks good though and the fact that the delivery "feels" a bit smarter than it actually is did make me be patient with it and relax into it a bit more than I would generally with the genre.A big part of it is down to Faris, who is really good in this. OK it is not the hardest most complex character to play, but her comic timing is bang on and she really gets the delivery right for the material. She is by far the driving heart of the film. In support are lots of faces you'll recognise which is an odd thing but it doesn't distract too much and everyone works pretty well; Krasinski, Cho, Trejo, Browne, Lynch and a cute (but otherwise pointless) appearance by Natashia Williams. For those reading the cast list while considering watching, please don't be put off by Carrot Top – he is a walk on (and more importantly "walk off") appearance.Overall Smiley Face is a cute entry in the stoner genre. It is imaginative and quite funny for the majority and it is done with a lot of harmless charm. Of course it isn't really enough of any one thing to be as good as it could have been, but it is still pretty amusing and engaging – thanks in a big part to a pitch perfect performance from Faris in the lead.
