Sight Unseen: An Ignorant Plot Synopsis of Smile


  DISCLAIMER: I have not seen the film.  This synopsis is merely my best guess, based off of the trailer and my flabbergasted intellect.

Parts of the world have turned upside down.  From a city landscape to a logo and to an autumnal road.  Crazy and heavy stuff, for sure.  Inside all of this madness, some people think it's funny and like to smile.  Naomi Watts Rose Cotter is a woman who is trying to figure out what is happening, as all of the smiling people that have seen a ring smile die afterwards within maybe seven days.  That means our main character only has a small amount of time figure out this curse before she dies, because she done seen the smile.

Her upbeat adventure begins after one of her clients decides to smile before cutting her face all up like a jackolantern.  This is pretty disturbing, but not all that scary, because the smile looked awkward and kind of more comical than terrifying.

Naomi Rose begins finding more people with this awkward smile, and all of the sound effects in the world can't really make it scary.  What she needs is some sort of Google Machine or expert to talk to, and she may just happen to find one in prison.  Dude is totally locked up for not following the rules of society, and he doesn't want to help her out because he's pissed at the lack of Grisham he's able to read.  The prison library isn't very well stocked.  Stupid politicians.

She leans into her friend friend Noah Joel to assist with her investigation.  He's all helpful n' stuff, but the task is really on the shoulders of Naomi Rose to figure this out.  Her life begins breaking down or whatever, and she turns into a real downer.  A lot of her friends call her 'a total drag' and she is no longer allowed to sit with them at the cafeteria, and she is uninvited to Blake Rudmore's house party while his parents are in the Hamptons.

Life sucks, to be honest.  Not only does she have to deal with seeing a ring smile, but her social standing is falling fast.  Deciding to re-invent herself, she sets an appointment to get some sort of new haircut.  This falls apart when her stylist comes out to Naomi's Rose's car and her head pops off.  Who can live under these conditions, she thinks to herself.  Being fed up, she puts on her cosies and waits to die.  Whatever.
