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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rare- a woman-centered weed-movie that rocks, January 12, 2008

By	John Bates "Johnny" (Branson, MO) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful change of pace, December 25, 2008

By	J. Fleck "bomvocal" (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm, Light, Funny and makes one Laugh, May 26, 2008

By	Alex J. Abrams - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
