The Garfield Scene From Smiley Face Is The Best

thumbnail icon: The Garfield Scene From Smiley Face Is The Best

So many people have asked me in the past year if I've seen Smiley Face that I've just started saying yes because it was easier than explaining why I'd managed to flake on consuming a pop culture product so clearly aimed directly at my forehead. This weekend, I noticed Smiley Face on Showtime OnDemand and finally caved, and those people were right: it has a lot of really funny parts and Anna Faris is nothing short of genius in it. This was my favorite scene, in which Anna Faris's character goes off on a deep thought tangent after seeing a framed picture of corn:

Even though this is probably the only stoner chick flick in existence, you can't have a stoner chick flick without the chick making plans for the craft project she's going to undertake as soon as she's not stoned. And Anna Faris's face is like this for the entire movie. She should have been nominated for a special Oscar just for that.

This is only tangentially related to the subject at hand, but I think the most disappointing thing about Garfield was the voice actor who portrayed the iconic fat cat in the cartoon series. Honestly, it makes the casting of Zooey Deschanel in "The Happening" look strong by comparison. See what I mean?

No way Garfield sounds like that. Nuh uh. Also, Faris rules.

the absolute best part of this movie is when she tries to back out of her parking spot, but gets frightened and rolls out of the car in slow motion for like 5 minutes... i even laughed as i was typing that

Ok, so I'm totally outside and have never even heard of Smiley Face, but that clip made me ROFL. See, I'm so out of it I still use chat words from 8 years ago. Meta.
