With the upcoming release of Eurovision Song contest: The Story of the Fire of the Saga on the 26th of June, Rachel McAdams is once again proving that not only she can do comedy, she can do comedy well. She has already demonstrated her knack for the dramatic with roles in Disobedience and The Notebook and in True Detectivebut it is roles in films such as Mean Girls and Wedding Wedding I have stayed with us. Their ability to not only hold her own with the comedy giant like Will Ferrell, Owen Wilson and Jason Bateman, but to overshadow at times is something worth taking note of.
It is always refreshing when a “serious”, the actress can laugh at herself and embody any role that comes your way. If you’re still on the fence about whether McAdams should be considered as a comic genius, these five films, you can change your mind. And if they can’t, its extravagant season as Sigrit Ericksdottir in Eurovision Song contest: The Story of the Fire of the Saga will.
