Battle of the Canadian Babes Round One Rachel McAdams vs Elisha Cuthbert vs Sarah Chalke

I'll admit, especially after watching her in THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, I don't think I would have ventured the guess that Elisha Cuthbert was Canadian. But after several roles in movies and television with ebbs and tides in the upswing of her career, I see that everlasting, don't-give-up spirit of a true Canadian in her.

Four our first trio of fem-nucks, I thought we'd feature the ladies who look the most "all American," which has always struck me as an odd phrase in any regard. McAdams is just one of the many classy, homespun blondes who most people don't even realize she's Canadian. But is she better than..

I never liked her as the second Becky on "Rosanne," which makes sense once I finally understood that she wasn't American. It's hard to play a bratty, self-absorbed, self-entitled piece of white trash when you're a polite girl from Canada. As Sarah's neurotic Dr Reed on "Scrubs?" Well, that definitely made her seem more American.
