Failure to replicate this result is the focus of this article in Slate; see: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/cover_story/2016/08/can_smiling_make_you_happier_maybe_maybe_not_we_have_no_idea.html
I think there are various problems with the presentation but it does make some useful points. One problem, however, is the focus on social psychological research -- how many classic results in experimental psychology (conditioning, memory, perception, reaction time, etc.) have not been replicated?
