Talk about living the high life: Hilarity ensues as a young actress named Jane (Anna Faris) attempts to get around town after accidentally consuming a batch of marijuana-laced treats belonging to her wacko roommate. Stoned out of her mind, she must pay her gas bill, accompany a chum to the dentist and make it to an audition before the day is done. Marion Ross and Danny Trejo co-star in this comedy of errors from director Gregg Araki.

NYT Critics' Pick: "Smiley Face," about a pot-addled would-be actress stumbling through a long, weird day in Los Angeles, is a contradiction in terms: a "stoner" comedy with a purpose. Read the review
Rotten Tomatoes: Fresh 62%: Consensus: Although many of the jokes have been done before, Anna Faris's bright performance and Gregg Araki's sharp direction make Smiley Face more than your average stoner comedy.

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

Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Times

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. full review

Nathan Lee, Village Voice

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. full review

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

Basically a sketch padded out to feature length, the film constantly hovers on the edge between amiable and annoying. full review

New York Magazine, New York Magazine

An unabashed valentine to Anna Faris, an opportunity for the actress to show that she can carry a movie composed of often hilarious nonstop misadventures. full review

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

A pure, mostly dumb comedy, it's the tale of one impossibly out-of-it girl, Anna Faris' Jane F., who spends her day stumbling from mishap to mishap in an effort to avoid her drug dealer's wrath.

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

In Faris, pic has a comedienne with the ability to wring endless variations on a limited theme (the 'I'm-so-baked' one) and she pretty much single-handedly compensates for anything lacking. full review

Dennis Harvey, Variety

Gregg Araki's latest foray into the slacker underbelly of suburban L.A., Smiley Face, has a wonderful performance by Anna Faris and one of the all-time great stoner monologues in movie history. full review
