What critics compared Smile to
But American Beautys satire is usually lighter and more fluid than that, more in the vein of Michael Ritchies Smile or the early portions of Kubricks Lolita.
Smile, the new horror movie by Parker Finn (not to be confused with MIchael Ritchie’s 1975 black comedy of the same name), is essentially a one-trick pony, but it’s a good trick.
