May / Smiley Face

MAY, 2002, Lionsgate, 93 min. May (Angela Bettis) is a shy misfit who works at an animal hospital with extrovert Polly (Anna Faris). Polly seems interested in May, but May’s romantic feelings are directed at Adam (Jeremy Sisto), a local mechanic and horror buff who’s intrigued by May’s weirdness. When she gets a little too weird, however, Adam backs off -- and then the trouble really starts.

SMILEY FACE, 2007, First Look International, 88 min. Dir. Greg Araki. Struggling actress Jane (Anna Faris) makes the mistake of snacking on some cupcakes left behind by her shady roommate. Before long she realizes there was more in the cakes than just sugar, and she sets out on a bizarre day that includes dealing with an ill-tempered drug dealer, auditioning for a new part and bumming a ride from a guy (John Krasinski) who is utterly obsessed with her.
