Smile (FULL MOVIE REACTION)
Added 2024-11-02 01:09:15 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Thanks for letting me know there was some lag in the last upload. Now my thoughts on this movie can be summed up by the conversation I had with Aaron about it today:
Aaron: Well I'm excited to see how you handled Smile 😂
Me: I didn't
Aaron: LMAO
Enjoy.

Oh I can't wait for his reaction to smile 2

2025-01-03 17:31:22 +0000 UTCPutting yourself through a horror movie just to make the people who enjoy your reactions happy is just really cool of you. Like, yeah, I am one of those people who, when I have the time, enjoys throwing on a horror movie to watch instead of most other genres. But it's fun to see it through someone else's eyes in a way and this was very entertaining <3 Glad you had the hoodie to help protect you!

2024-11-17 22:34:55 +0000 UTCI didn't know hooded jackets were endowed with the same protection powers as the traditional, tried and true bed covers...this is good information to have.

2024-11-10 05:41:44 +0000 UTCI love how the flashlight doesn’t work, Alex points out the phone light but she decides it’s best to use 20 year old kerosine in a lantern 😂😂 horror movies…

2024-11-04 20:53:02 +0000 UTCWorking at a Psych hospital isn’t that bad. It’s challenging sometimes but you get used to working with that patient population. Some people are really sick and need help and you just gotta call on your empathy to try your best to help them. Risperdal is an anti psychotic that is typically prescribed for hallucinations but also helps with mood regulation. I’ve worked at a Psychiatric Hospital for 3 years and it’s hard but rewarding and eventually gets easier to handle.

2024-11-04 05:18:33 +0000 UTCPoor Alex.. This movie is a lot scarier than Terrifier 🤣 I’m not complaining

Charlie Fontana

YourGuyPreston
2024-11-02 21:11:48 +0000 UTCAlex can definitely skip Terrifier but I found Smile and Smile 2 to be far scarier then any of the 3 Terrifiers because Smile is full of jumpscares. Terrifier is just gore which I don't find as bad.
JQ
2024-11-02 20:36:55 +0000 UTCwtf he does look like alex that's crazy
sippy cup
2024-11-02 18:13:08 +0000 UTChe's doing everything including looking up randomly mentioned drugs for their prescription facts to avoid even looking at the screen at any moment he can lmfao
Neon_ninja
2024-11-02 17:40:24 +0000 UTCOMG! Just for fun, I looked up Smile on IMDb to check what the movie is about, then clicked on the director. Parker Finn. HE LOOKS ALMOST LIKE ALEX, Like his brother or something! For a second, I thought, "Wait. Is Alex secretly a director and he watched his own movie?" lol

2024-11-02 15:05:13 +0000 UTCIf any of you try and make him watch Terrifier after what u saw this movie did to him, cmon man let this guy sleep.
Luca Tittl
2024-11-02 14:56:28 +0000 UTCLoved this reaction! I made the mistake of watching this the first time when I was working from home and trying to stay up for nightshift. It definitely kept me up but not a great movie to watch alone. Had to give my cats lots of hugs during the mustache scene.
Melody Netherton
2024-11-02 14:50:32 +0000 UTCI need him to see Smile 2!!!
Emilie Margolis
2024-11-02 14:33:54 +0000 UTCA nerve has been hit? Youre so dramatic, its adorable. Its just ridiculous to suggest watching a movie can have some life changing, traumatic effect on someone and ruin their life. Its a movie, theyll be scared while watching it, then move on with their life.
jamie jones
2024-11-02 14:21:39 +0000 UTCGreat Reaction! It's funny to me watching people get scared 🤣 because I don't get scared of any films or anything!! If I hear something in the house, I'm up and searching 😆
Hannah Walker
2024-11-02 12:19:34 +0000 UTCThis reaction was gold! Thank you for your sacrifice. You're the best!

2024-11-02 11:15:00 +0000 UTCWhat I like most about the movie is the themes of trauma, mental illness, grief and guilt. The Smile entity appears to feed on unaddressed trauma and enters a person's body through a new traumatic experience. More explicitly they feed on the fact that the person has witnessed the death of a loved one: Laura saw her grandfather die when she was a child, Rose saw her mother die from an OD (and feels guilty for not helping her) and Gabriel's widow says that he still struggled with his brother's death (though it's not said if he witnessed it). To me, the entity is a depiction of trauma spreading from one person to another. The way the entity torments Rose (and presumably its other victims) and how everyone treated her and others heavily reflects how mental illnesses affect people in real life. Her problems aren't taken seriously (Trevor the boyfriend/fiancé/husband and Holly the sister irritated me so much) and she ends up severely isolating herself, much like how those with mental illnesses. They're either ignored or judged. Also, the only actual deaths in the movie aside from Mustache 💔 (whom Rose unknowingly packaged, presumably killed and gave it to her nephew for his birthday) are all either suicides or an act of violent desperation. This is accurate to the behaviour of victims of mental illness, who are much more likely to hurt themselves rather than other people and have a higher risk of suicide. And everyone besides Rose were using demeaning, harmful language, calling people "crazy", "head-cases", "nut-jobs" etc., and using the phrase "committed suicide" as if it is a crime. Rose was the only one who referred to people "dying by suicide". As a society, we need to be better about how we talk about mental health and those who are struggling. The ending has been criticised by a few fans, who choose to ignore everything after Rose kills the entity, overcomes her trauma over her mother's death and burns down her old home. This depressing ending is, however, an intentional commentary on how some traumas are too powerful for some people to ever truly overcome. Also, a lot of viewers were pissed they kept the sister's dangling head by the car window in the trailer, so for those who had seen the trailer they weren't as shocked when it happened in the movie. There is a sequel that was just released in theatres starring Naomi Scott (from the live-action Aladdin, 2019's Charlies Angels and Disney's Lemonade Mouth) and Ray Nicholson, Jack Nicholson's son. Fun facts: Sosie Bacon who plays Rose (and did an amazing job) is the daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Kyle Gallner who plays Joel was also in Jennifer's Body, The Haunting of Connecticut, the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream (2022) and shows like Veronica Mars, Smallville, CSI: NY & Outsiders. I first saw him in an episode of Cold Case where he played one of two teenagers who shot and killed people in a mall (it was heavily based on the Columbine school shooting). Caitlin Stasey who plays Laura (and does an excellent job in her short role in this movie) is an Australian actress whom I first saw in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. After moving to the US she starred in the show Reign. Paramount originally planned for the movie, which had a low budget of $17 million, to be a streaming-only release on Paramount+. It was screened for test audiences and scored much higher than anticipated, prompting Paramount to give it a theatrical release. It opened at #1 and grossed $22.6 million over its opening weekend, which exceeded their wildest expectations. It stayed in the top 10 for over two months and grossed $217 million worldwide. The movie is based on Parker Finn's short film "Laura Hasn't Slept", starring Caitlin Stasey as Laura (who reprised her role in this movie). The scene where Rose talks to Laura is a parallel to the short film. This movie was originally titled "Something's Wrong With Rose". The marketing for the movie was insane. They had several of the actors showing up at various events, mainly sports prevents, standing dead still and smiling while wearing Smile shirts. The entity's true form resembles a rotting corpse with other people inside. Director/writer Parker Finn says it is a "true look at the evil thing that's been hiding behind all the smiles". He called it Lollipop, hence the use of the song in the end credits.

2024-11-02 09:40:35 +0000 UTCThis is definitely wayyyyyyy scarier than Terrifier but a lot less gory
Benjamin Martin
2024-11-02 09:03:34 +0000 UTCPeople usually resort to “grow up” when a nerve has been hit. Psychological harm can come from movies (and games). Those who have professionally counseled others know this. When someone makes comments like Alex has, especially in his intro post for IT2, that’s a usually a sign. And the point wasn’t to call out getting enjoyment from a reaction. Nothing wrong with that. But being careful not to push someone to do something *after* they’ve already said that it’s not good for them. Just a couple of things to think about from this professor. Done.

2024-11-02 07:54:33 +0000 UTCStraight facts, appreciate ya brother🙏
Jared Johnston
2024-11-02 07:19:28 +0000 UTCIts just a movie. Its not gonna cause psychological harm or PTSD. Grow up.
jamie jones
2024-11-02 07:01:05 +0000 UTCWhat made it the best is that your comfort song is “Hey Ya!” By OutKast 😂 I hate scary movies too but I only watch them with you cause you help make it not as bad lol… THANK YOU FOR TORTURING YOURSELF SO I DONT HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!!!
DragonQueen
2024-11-02 06:55:47 +0000 UTCRandom connection.. The dude who played the cop friend was The Flash in Smallville. Which happened to be the same show Reachers first major role as Aquaman was
Luchito Carrera
2024-11-02 06:31:21 +0000 UTCIt is very wholesome to care for Alex’s well being this much, but ya don’t gotta put people down for finding enjoyment in these reactions, after all he is doing this for our entertainment and they are just movies, they ain’t gonna change reality. He’s gonna be ok👍
Jared Johnston
2024-11-02 06:27:06 +0000 UTCThe Bible is 10x scarier than that movie was lol
lunasera
2024-11-02 05:38:07 +0000 UTCNot necessarily. People do things that aren’t good for them every second of every day to please others. He already made it clear in his other comments that it has a negative effect on him. Personally, I just have more concern when someone says something has a negative effect on them. I just tend to put that first when I hear someone say that.
Diana
2024-11-02 05:27:05 +0000 UTCIf its realy affected Alex. He wouldnt watch it in the first place .lol you think he would trade his well being just to satisfy us ?
roberts veselis
2024-11-02 05:16:09 +0000 UTCIt seems to have a real negative affect on him. I would never trade someone’s well being for a few cheap laughs.

2024-11-02 04:06:34 +0000 UTCJust watched this for the first time! I heard about the 2nd movie being really good too so will have to watch that. Alex prob won't watch it until next year haha
AHarmlessPear
2024-11-02 03:57:34 +0000 UTCTerrifier isn't that scary, it's more like camp 80s horror slasher but with excessive gore - and a bit of silence of the lambs style weirdness. I just watched it for the first time and didn't really enjoy (I'm not a gore person)
