McAdams's break-out role came in 2004, when she starred in the comedy film Mean Girls opposite Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried, based on Rosalind Wiseman's book Queen Bees and Wannabes. McAdams was 24 years old when she was cast as the mean high school queen bee Regina George, and she modelled her character on Alec Baldwin's performance in the drama Glengarry Glen Ross (1992).<ref>Mean Girls star McAdams comes clean about being mean.

Later in 2004, McAdams starred opposite fellow Canadian Ryan Gosling in the romantic drama The Notebook, based on Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same name.

In 2005, McAdams starred with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Bradley Cooper in the romantic comedy Wedding Crashers.

Afterwards, McAdams starred opposite Cillian Murphy in Wes Craven's psychological thriller Red Eye, where she played a young hotel manager who is held captive by Murphy's character while aboard a red-eye flight. Craven has said McAdams was the only actress he considered for the part.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She was drawn to the relatable qualities of her character: "She was not some sweaty, tank-top-wearing, Uzi-carrying super woman".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Robert Koehler of Variety found her "increasingly impressive"<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times asserted that "she brings more presence and credibility to her role than is really expected; she acts without betraying the slightest awareness that she's inside a genre.

2006–2010: Career hiatus and returnEdit
At this point in her career, McAdams was hailed as "the next Julia Roberts"<ref name="elle2007" /> and the new "Hollywood it girl".<ref name="itgirlew" /> Vanity Fair invited McAdams, along with actresses Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, to appear on its March 2006 cover, the annual Hollywood issue. Upon arrival on the photo set, McAdams discovered it was a nude session, declined and left. She later parted ways with her publicist at the time, who had not informed her in advance.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Knightley later recounted, "Quite early on Rachel just said, 'No, I'm not into that.' She's a lovely girl, and I really respect her for doing that."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> When asked about the incident in 2008, McAdams had "no regrets".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> McAdams took a break from her film career from 2006 to 2007.<ref name="itgirlew">Template:Cite magazine</ref> "There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen, a lot of voices around me, and I wanted to step away so I could hear my own voice again", McAdams said in 2013. "Truthfully, I never really wanted to be a big movie star. I never even wanted to work outside of Canada, or outside of the theatre."<ref name="thetimesuk">Template:Cite news</ref> During that period, McAdams turned down roles in the films The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Casino Royale (2006), Mission: Impossible III (2006), Iron Man (2008),<ref name="Iron Man">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Get Smart (2008).<ref name="elle2007">Template:Citation</ref> In February 2006, she made a one-off stage appearance in The Vagina Monologues at St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, Toronto to raise funds for V-Day.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> That same year, McAdams received a Rising Star Award nomination from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts<ref name="bafta">Template:Cite news</ref> and hosted the Academy Awards for Technical Achievement.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
McAdams returned to her film career in 2008. She starred with Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper in the 1940s film noir Married Life where she played Kay Nesbitt, a young widow who wins the affections of Brosnan and Cooper's older characters. In preparation for the role, McAdams studied old films, particularly those of Kim Novak.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She has said the film shoot re-energized and re-inspired her and made her eager to continue working more often again.<ref name="collider08">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly found McAdams "a particularly delightful vision after her two-year intermission".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Todd McCarthy of Variety criticized her break from the big screen but felt that, despite a performance of "tender feeling", "her natural vivaciousness and spontaneity are straitjacketed" by the film noir format.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> The film had a limited release and was a box-office failure. It grossed just over $2Template:Nbspmillion worldwide, failing to recoup its production budget of $12Template:Nbspmillion.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Afterwards, McAdams starred with Tim Robbins and Michael Peña in the road trip comedy-drama The Lucky Ones, a story about three Iraq War soldiers on a brief road trip back in the United States. She trained at a real boot camp, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, prior to filming.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2011, McAdams said that Colee Dunn was "probably one of my favorite characters I've ever played".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The film also had a limited release and Laura Kern of The New York Times found her "luminous as always"<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times hailed the performance as "her coming of age as an actress".<ref name="rogerebert.suntimes.com">Template:Cite news</ref> "Previously she has been seen mostly as a hot chick or an idealized sweetheart", he wrote. "Here she is feisty, vulnerable, plucky, warm, funny ...

In 2009, McAdams starred with Russell Crowe, Helen Mirren and Ben Affleck in the political thriller State of Play, based on the BBC drama television series of the same name.

Her work feels emotionally spontaneous yet technically precise. She has an unusually easy touch with both comedy and drama, and she never holds a melodramatic moment hostage."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The film was a commercial success, earning over $101Template:Nbspmillion worldwide.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In late 2009, McAdams starred in the mystery/action-adventure film Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. She played Irene Adler, an antagonist and love interest of Downey's title character Sherlock Holmes, and welcomed the opportunity to play a character who is "her own boss and a real free spirit".<ref name="parade09">Template:Cite news</ref> Todd McCarthy of Variety felt her character was "not very well integrated into the rest of the story, a shortcoming the normally resourceful McAdams is unable to do much about".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> A. O. Scott of The New York Times stated, "Ms.Template:NbspMcAdams is a perfectly charming actress and performs gamely as the third wheel of this action-bromance tricycle. But Irene feels in this movie more like a somewhat cynical commercial contrivance. She offers a little something for the ladies and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The film was a major commercial success, earning over $524Template:Nbspmillion at the worldwide box office.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In 2010, McAdams starred with her The Family Stone co-star Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford in the comedy Morning Glory. She played a television producer attempting to improve the poor ratings of a morning television program. The film was billed as a starring vehicle for McAdams.<ref name="ellejune2011" /> She initially felt she was unsuited to the role saying, "I'm not funny.

2011–2014: Work with auteursEdit

They played two business executives engaged in a power struggle.<ref name="deadline1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> De Palma saw McAdams' performance in Mean Girls and decided to cast her as Christine.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The movie was released in selected theatres in the US.

In 2013, McAdams starred in Richard Curtis' romantic comedy-drama About Time opposite Domhnall Gleeson.<ref name="autogenerated3">Template:Cite news</ref> Zooey Deschanel was originally slated to play McAdams's role but dropped out shortly before filming began.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> A fan of Curtis for years, McAdams wanted to work with him on what he stated would be his last project as a director.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The film was a commercial success at the international box office,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and McAdams had a positive reception among critics, with Leslie Felperin of Variety praising her and Gleeson for their "radiant, believable chemistry" which "keeps the film aloft."<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> The following year, McAdams starred opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in an adaptation of John le Carré's espionage thriller A Most Wanted Man, directed by Anton Corbijn.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> McAdams' attempt at a German accent was criticised by some reviewers.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair noted that McAdams had a "little less success with her accent" than her co-star Hoffman but, nonetheless, she "proves as intelligent, soulful, and magnetic a presence as ever".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> In late 2014, McAdams received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 2015, McAdams starred with Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo and Stanley Tucci as journalist Sacha Pfeiffer in Tom McCarthy's Spotlight, a drama about the child-abuse scandal in Boston's Catholic Church.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> To prepare for her role, McAdams spent time with Pfeiffer.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite newsTemplate:Cbignore</ref> The film garnered critical acclaim<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Though Justin Chang of Variety felt McAdams imbued her character with "sensitivity and grit", he was nonetheless surprised by her subsequent Academy Award nomination: "[The performance] has the sort of fine-grained subtlety that voters too rarely notice. Take another look at that scene in which she gently, skillfully encourages an abuse survivor to lay bare his most lacerating secrets—a small master class in how the simple act of listening can become a conduit for compassion."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> For her role, McAdams received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Supporting Actress and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations in the categories of Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role and Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture.<ref name="SAG Spotlight">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="Critics' Choice Spotlight">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
She next starred with her Wedding Crashers co-star Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone and John Krasinski in Cameron Crowe's romantic comedy-drama Aloha. She played the ex-girlfriend of Cooper's character, who is married to Krasinski's character with two children.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> While the film received a negative reaction and controversy from critics and audiences alike,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Wesley Morris of Grantland remarked: "Someone who can speak Crowe's language really helps. McAdams might be the best he's ever had ... [She] puts the perfect amount of air in her lines, giving the words a lightness that conflates optimism, amusement, and resignation. She's never seemed lovelier, more instinctive, or more present."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times felt she "plays likely the strongest, most rounded female character Crowe has ever written, a woman suddenly lips to lips with the life she has and the one she might have had, and the actress brings a grounded, unforced earthiness to the role that is a joy to watch."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
She co-starred with Jake Gyllenhaal in the boxing drama Southpaw (2015), where she played the wife of Gyllenhaal's character.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A.O. Scott of The New York Times conceded: "It features some pretty appealing players.

The film received a U.S. limited release in December 2015.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Guy Lodge of Variety remarked: "Poor McAdams, sporting sensible hair and a truly mystifying cod-Continental accent, continues her thankless run of needy, tossed-aside love interests in big-name auteur projects."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> That same year, McAdams returned to television and starred as Det. Ani Bezzerides in the second season of HBO's anthology crime drama True Detective with her Wedding Crashers co-star Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Richard Vine of The Guardian remarked: "If there's anyone with any chance of enjoying a McConaughaissance here it's probably McAdams – an actor whose characters are more usually associated with the death of the romcom than murders involving people with eyes burned out by acid. Here, her Ani is a convincing mess."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She received a nomination for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries for her role.<ref name="Critics' Choice Spotlight" /> Also in 2015, McAdams played Buttercup in a one-off, staged LACMA Live Read of The Princess Bride.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

M. Montgomery's novel Anne of Green Gables, released by Audible.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
After a year-long absence from the screen, McAdams co-starred with Jason Bateman in the comedy Game Night (2018). Glenn Kenny of The New York Times said the film served as a "reminder that Ms. McAdams is one of cinema's most accomplished and appealing comic actresses."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair felt her character lacked "any real arc or motivation of her own", but "It's a testament to McAdams's talent and charm, then, that she doesn't get lost in the movie, asserting herself in every scene with a goofy brightness."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> She performed some of her own stunt driving in a getaway scene.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Later in 2018, McAdams starred opposite Rachel Weisz in Sebastián Lelio's romantic drama Disobedience, based on Naomi Alderman's novel.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said McAdams "does some lovely work here to convey a woman agonizing over her existential situation".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
