Deschanel has taken on all sorts of roles, from that of an animated penguin to a bored holiday department store worker to a rebellious eighteen-year-old who leaves home to become a flight attendant. One thing is true no matter what characters she plays or what genre she performs in — Deschanel knows how to act.

The popular entertainment website has assigned every one of Deschanel’s movies a star rating based on the votes of registered users on a scale of 1 to 10. We’ll be using these stats to see how her movies rank.
