I looked in a mirror when trying to create a smile. I discovered that when I smile, it reaches the bottom of my eyes, making a crinkle, unless I deliberately forced the smile. Ergo, a smile that doesn't affect the eyes looks like a forced smile. The face in the second pic above, Ron looks like the girl is forcing a smile in an iuncomfortable situation. Like if her 400 lb best friend aske her if the jeans she was wearing made her look fat. (j/k) Seriously, a "silly" smile is often more of a grin, with a lot more eye crinkle. In my own opinion, of course. And one must also consider brow position, and so on. TalmidBen has some excellent advice just above.
