Smiley Face tells the story of Jane, a laid-back pot enthusiast who dreams of making it as an actress. Her typical day is filled with waking and baking, snacking on chips, and enjoying long naps in the comfort of her cozy bed. The film begins with her quirky self-dialogue atop a Ferris wheel.
As the narrative unfolds, we rewind to 9 am that same morning when Jane is happily indulging in her favorite pastime—smoking weed and surfing the web. A trip to the fridge unveils a delicious batch of cupcakes, lovingly prepared by her roommate for an upcoming SciFi party. Unable to resist the tempting treats, she devours every last one, only to discover they were also infused with cannabis, leaving her incredibly high.
In her altered state, Jane creates an ambitious to-do list: restock on pot to bake another batch of cupcakes for her roommate, attend her acting audition, and personally ensure the power company doesn’t cut off their electricity by paying the bill. Thus begins her chaotic day, which will lead her back to the Ferris wheel at sunset, clutching The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx while surrounded by a throng of angry people, who seem ready to throw her in jail.
In this wildly humorous adventure, Jane’s mishaps and misadventures make for a truly unforgettable day.
