Reviews for "Smile!"

Superb

Damn dude, that was deep. I'm assuming you were trying to use this as an allegory? My guess is it's about not conforming? Or how horrible the 'cool' kids can treat someone if they don't act like them and 'smile' I'm assuming that b/c the one girl's shirt said "sexy bitch" and the other guy had an "88" on his shirt like a jock. I also like how they are machines... show's how fake they are... If I'm right on any of these please let me know! haha, but I suppose it could mean differant things to differant people.

In any case, great work.

pretty lame

The graphics are crisp but are pretty drab. The author might claim it to be 'the style'.. but really all it is, is a cop-out of any real definition.
The story/theme is stupid. A solid attempt at trying to be deep and meaningful pretty much turns out to be rubbish and distant.
The 'style' is good, with camera changes and fades. That's pretty much the only redeeming quality.
The repeating sounds are more annoying than that stupid squrriel that eats my flower beds.

Awesome.

Do you know how many people I'm going to send this to, and they're going to think it's something happy and light-hearted, and come away depressed and horrified? Thank you very much.

By the way, to those who think the disco ball ruined the ending, turn up your speakers: the sad, melancholy tune is still going on in the background. Ever watch a movie and they have an old 50's tune playing while something brutal happens on-screen? How about a guy in a car listening to rock music just before his car is attacked by monsters? It's a sort of auditory irony, something completely off-key to the feel of the rest of the story. The disco music is what the characters are listening to; we as the audience are still listening to the sadness and strangeness that belies and permeates the entire animation. It makes the ending all the more psychotic and eerie because after that brutal murder for reasons we can't begin to understand, they celebrate by fucking while listening to party music.

Just to clear things up. One of the best submissions on Newgrounds, and apparently one of the least understood finales.

Good... but not

um... i really liked it, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. You cant say it is bad, the quality of the work displayed here is better then most submissions, but the story fizzles out without having ever peaked.

kool

that wuz preety kool and at the end that wuz hilarious good job
