Anna Kendrick made her film debut in 2003's "Camp" and has appeared in dozens of films since.
Her directorial debut, "Woman of the Hour," was released on Netflix this month.
Anna Kendrick made her film debut in 2003's "Camp" over 20 years ago. Since then, she's appeared in not one, but two successful franchises — the "Pitch Perfect" trilogy made almost $590 million at the box office, while "The Twilight Saga" made a combined $3.37 billion — and she is set to star in another next year after the success of "A Simple Favor" in 2018.
Kendrick has also been nominated for an Academy Award, two Indie Spirit Awards, a Golden Globe, a Tony, and three Critics' Choice Awards across her career.
But not all of her movies have been critical darlings. We used Rotten Tomatoes to determine the best and worst movies in her filmography, according to critics' scores.
Here are the 10 worst and 10 best films Kendrick has appeared in.
