SMILEY FACE World Cinema: American Showcase

OK, just hang on a second, because it’s not like this is a complicated movie with tons of shadows or peasants , but there’s, you know, a lot of moving parts and stuff. It definitely starts on a Ferris wheel, which I just realized is TOTALLY WEIRD because it also stars Anna Faris. Faris on a Ferris wheel! Nice.

Anyway, there’s a lot that happens with all kinds of different actors, and actresses, of course, but it mostly has to do with this one day when Jane eats waaaaay too many of her roommate’s cupcakes. Like SERIOUSLY special cupcakes. So she’s all ‘NOOO!’ but then she still has to do a lot of stuff. And her roommate is not even a little, like, sympathetic.

Plus there’s all these actors, and actresses, who – did I already tell you this? It’s deja vu-central in my head right now. And I’m pretty sure I saw that dude from THE OFFICE… Gregg Araki totally rules.
