“Give Anna Faris a retroactive Oscar for [this] cult classic, a masterful and still under-appreciated entry to the stoner comedy canon…a hilarious all-in-one-day misadventure that rivals After Hours, Run Lola Run, and Uncut Gems in terms of its sheer narrative escalation.” – Nylon
Cult queer filmmaker Gregg Araki (The Doom Generation, Nowhere) and should-be-one-of-Hollywood’s-biggest-stars Anna Faris take you on the ultimate trip in our almost-4/20 screening of the contemporary cult classic SMILEY FACE. Delivering one of the truly great comedic performances of the 21st century, Faris stars as slacker actress Jane, whose bad day keeps getting more and more outrageous after she treats herself to a batch of cupcakes left unattended by her psycho roommate that prove not as innocent as they appear. What ensues is an epic series of misadventures, a delirious idiot odyssey in which everyone from John Krasinski to Jane Lynch to Brian Posehn to Harold himself John Cho pops up. Funnier than Half Baked, way cooler than Harold and Kumar, and far more exciting than Pineapple Express, SMILEY FACE is the definitive stoner comedy of the modern era. Whether you partake or not, SMILEY FACE is guaranteed to give you the giggles.
This screening is part of Arkadin’s April 2026 series, HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?—featuring botanical wonders, homicidal flora, and secret gardens for you to make your escape.
