If you were perusing the "Comedy" section of Blockbuster back in the late 2000s, you might have missed a neon-soaked gem hidden among the Pineapple Express knock-offs. Released in 2007, isn’t just another stoner flick—it’s a surreal, intelligently constructed masterpiece of "inspired insanity" that deserves a permanent spot on your watchlist.

The Ultimate Trip: Revisiting Gregg Araki’s Smiley Face (2007)

You might be surprised by how many familiar faces pop up in Jane's hazy world: as Brevin, the dweeby, lovesick admirer.

Despite a lukewarm box office at the time, the film has grown into a significant cult classic. It predates the "female-led weed comedy" wave seen in shows like Broad City and remains "refreshingly funny" without being preachy.

Directed by indie legend ( Mysterious Skin ), the film follows Jane F. (played with absolute commitment by Anna Faris ), a struggling LA actress whose only real hobby is "waking and baking". Jane starts her day with a simple to-do list: Go to an acting audition. Pay the electricity bill in person.

At just over 80 minutes, it’s a lean, mean, indie trip that uses creative cinematography and a vibrant soundtrack (including "Star Guitar" by The Chemical Brothers) to put you right in Jane's headspace.
