Rachel McAdams wonderful new film about About Time goes on release next week and this got us thinking about how much we love this lady. Here are seven reasons we want Rachel to be our bestie…
1. She is so damn cute.
Seriously, whether she is on the red carpet or getting caught in the rain, we could look the word cute up in the dictionary and a picture of Rachel would definitely be beside it.

2. She would make us look really retro and cool.
Yes, she stole the limelight in About Time, but she was still there for her friends… Of course, she still looked amazing while doing it so win, win really. Oh… and that dress with that bag? TOO cute.

3. She played Regina George.
Arguably the greatest, and most evil, of all the popular girls. Remember that scream?
4. She went out with Ryan Gosling.
We would get to hang out with Ryan Gosling if we were friends with her. Sure, they’re not together now but they will be. THEY WILL BE! He wrote her every day, goddammit!

5. She’s useful in scary situations.
Rachel had the smarts in Red Eye, she wasn’t just some scared idiot. She thought things through!
