The 10 Best Rachel McAdams Movies
Move over Julia Roberts, America has a new girl next door. (Which is ironic considering Rachel McAdams' Canadian roots) Rachel McAdams is one of my new favorite rom-com (romantic comedy) actresses. Ever since I saw her in the comedy, "Mean Girls" opposite Lindsay Lohan, I've been a huge fan. Although she was the girl to hate, her role in "The Notebook" changed all that as millions of women and men across America were crying for Allie and Noah.
Keep in mind, as with all my "favorites lists," this is just my personal opinion of the 10 best movies that I have enjoyed. Please enjoy the 10 best Rachel McAdams Movies!
