Smiley Face Reviews

I have to admit that I didn't expect much from the damned thing but since I have a weak spot for Gregg Araki's work, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it felt like a huge missed opportunity. Indeed, there are already so many lame stoner comedies out there and, this time around, they actually to got so many elements right and I think it could have been pretty neat but, unfortunately, the end-result was still pretty weak, I'm afraid. In my opinion, the biggest mistake they made was that they never mentioned why Jane was actually smoking weed in the first place. Well, I'll tell you why. It is because it can be so much fun but you never get to see this in this movie. Indeed, instead of laughing with her, which should have been a much better approach, we were supposed to be laughing at her during some kind of rather mean-spirited bad trip. I mean, I don't say that they should have promoted weed (it could have been interesting though) but it could have been better balanced. Concerning Anna Faris, she did what she could with this material and I think she gave actually a solid performance but I really had a hard time to care about this character who was not only really stoned but also incredibly stupid. To conclude, in spite of its potential, it was still a pretty weak comedy and I don't think it is really worth a look.

For an indie film I gotta hand it to em, it's decent.

Overall nothing too excellent, it is a stoner movie which I honestly am pretty critical about because I feel like nothing could ever beat 'Dazed and Confused'.

The story is crazy and creative and there are actors that make cameos where I found myself surprised. Such as Danny Masterson, Adam Brody, John Krasinski, John Cho, Carrot Top, Jane Lynch, Brian Posehn, and Danny Trejo.

While watching this movie, I felt bad for Jane just wishing that her poor endevours would just work out. Another film where the main character gets nothing but stepped on.

I can relate to this movie (sadly) I made the same mistake Jane did one time (of course I didn't eat 6 I ate 1) and for some reason I was absolutely wreaked. I never did know exactly how much were in those, but I remember feeling just like Jane did in this movie. The fact that I could relate made it funnier to me.

This movie overall is nothing special, kinda a waste of a good hour and a half. Overall just normal funny, nothing too side splitting. Regardless the amount of good actors in this movie is quite surprising. The roles were played well (other than Adam Brody, dreads are so lame on him).
5/10

This is one of my favorite stoner movies. I really think that movies like this is why prop 19 didn't pass. Just a tad bit extreme on the reactions on the action.
