I love this movie so much

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

"Smile" is a below average horror movie. You could say it's pretty bad even. The plot is thin, boring and predictable.I was having hopes at the beginning of this flick, the oriental flair in Morocco and setting was very appealing to me and created some atmosphere. Also, the appearance of Armand Assante kept my hopes up.However all this vanishes when the group starts the trip on their own. You notice all flaws quite soon: Dialogue is often irrelevant and irrational. The acting was horrible, you don't root for any of the characters. Then there's the stupid plot where the characters die after a picture has been taken by an old, doomed camera. Special Effects? Well, they are special that's for sure. The death scenes and effects are probably the weakest part of this movie, they were all very goofy and just plain bad.Assante is in the movie for like 5 minutes, he probably noticed what a piece of garbage he was acting in halfway through.Don't waste your time. 1/10

Several students on a school holiday discover a mysterious camera, but after several of them start showing up dead after having their picture taken, they start to realize this camera is much more than they bargained for.As a horror fan and especially a fan of Italian horror, I was hoping there would be something redeeming about this film. But, in short, there just was not much to offer and it seemed more inspired by 1990s American horror than Italian horror of any decade. A pity, really, because we are sadly lacking someone to pick up the reins from Bava, Soavi and Argento.Not to say the film is a complete failure, but there is nothing that jumps out as must-see and it is a shame that such a good-looking film just has no soul.

Have you ever had a dentist drill into the nerve of a tooth when you had no Novocaine ? If so, then you've come close to how painful it is to sit through this appalling excuse for a movie...or at least for the first half (or so) of it ( that's all I could stand...and THAT wasn't easy !)The plot,(young Americans on a trip abroad start dying off in increasingly revolting ways) has only been done about a thousand times, and in 99 of every hundred of those thousand times it was done better.The "acting" is not just an embarrassment to the acting profession, to to the entire movie industry...no... to the entire ENTERTAINMENT industry...no...to ALL OF HUMANITY !!!The dialog was well beyond ludicrous, and the direction seemed to be non-existent.If you've ever seen a movie for free that was so bad you wished you had paid to see it JUST so you could demand your money back...I'm going to guess that it was THIS movie.To sum it all up...at one point one of the characters says "This is the worst vacation I've ever been on.", and I swear that the first thing that came into my mind was "Yeah ? Well cheer up pal...you COULD be watching THIS piece of crap !!!"

I liked this movie a lot. It had a unique filming location, unique actors (one of the guys was a dork though, you will know when you watch it lol) and a unique plot. I especially liked the ending. It is an overall very entertaining movie. It sort of has the feeling of an 80's Italian horror movie. Not the same cookie cutter movies that all seem to be the rage lately. I am not sure why this film does not have a higher rating, it is much better than many of the 6 and 7 start rated IMDb horror movies, I suspect that directors and actors are rating up their trash movies so people will watch them. Give the movie a chance. I think most horror fans out there will enjoy it. No it is not a work of art but yes it is very entertaining and "interesting".
