SNL on the Big Screen: Who Did it Best? (version2)


3. Maya Rudolph-Away We Go
Rudolph plays earthy sweetness better than any actress of her generation. She was by far the most underrated part of Bridesmaids, and her many supporting roles in films (The Way Way Back, Friends with Kids, Idiocracy, Prairie Home Companion) leave you wishing she had more to do. But in Away We Go, the romantic drama about soon to be parents deciding where to live, she showed a different side of herself…one more vulnerable and uncertain, even while getting laughs from her deadpan delivery. Recently she went back to TV with the series Up All Night, but her best work seems to be when she can create characters from the inside out in indie films that love her unique style and delivery.
