Jane's chaotic journey through a day filled with mishaps highlights the film's unique take on stoner comedy, making her both frustratingly flawed and charmingly relatable."
"The film Smiley Face, while not a major reinvigoration of cannabis cinema upon its release, has aged into a nostalgic piece of raunchy 00s humor, contrasting sharply with the more serious tones of contemporary cinema. Its unabashed silliness and Faris's performance have only grown in appreciation over time."
