For a first watch, start with Wedding Crashers: Isla Fisher’s high-energy comic turn is the role most closely associated with her breakthrough. This ranking weighs her performance and the impact of her role alongside each film’s overall reception, memorability and value as a showcase of her range. It is an editorial shortlist, not a consensus ranking; Rotten Tomatoes’ critic and audience scores below assess the films, not Fisher’s acting alone.
10 Isla Fisher movies worth watching
-
Wedding Crashers (2005)
Fisher plays Gloria Cleary in this romantic comedy about two friends who crash weddings to meet women. Her exuberant, unpredictable performance makes Gloria a scene-stealing presence and remains the clearest entry point to Fisher’s comedy. Rotten Tomatoes listed the film at 75% from critics and 70% from audiences when its filmography page was accessed on October 4, 2026; the separate figures describe overall reactions to the film, not to Fisher’s performance. Rotten Tomatoes filmography; Rotten Tomatoes: Wedding Crashers.
-
Rango (2011)
Fisher voices Beans, a tough-minded desert iguana, in this animated Western adventure. It is a good pick for viewers who want a performance built on voice, timing and character rather than physical comedy. Rotten Tomatoes’ accessed listing showed 88% from critics and 70% from audiences, a positive critical score with a more moderate audience one. Rotten Tomatoes filmography.
-
The Lookout (2007)
This crime thriller gives Fisher a darker setting than her familiar romantic comedies. Its place here reflects the value of seeing her in a tense ensemble story, where the mood and stakes are far removed from the broad comic energy of Wedding Crashers. Rotten Tomatoes listed 87% from critics and 74% from audiences on the page accessed October 4, 2026. Those aggregates indicate reception of the film as a whole. Rotten Tomatoes filmography.

Definitely, Maybe (2008)
In this romantic comedy, Fisher stars opposite Ryan Reynolds in a story about love, memory and the choices that shape a relationship. It is a natural choice for viewers drawn to her lighter, more romantic roles, and a useful counterpoint to the thriller and drama entries on this list. Rotten Tomatoes’ biography highlights the performance among Fisher’s romantic-comedy work. Rotten Tomatoes filmography.
-
Nocturnal Animals (2016)
Tom Ford’s psychological thriller offers another sharp change of register: Fisher appears in a dark, adult drama rather than a romantic comedy or family animation. The film’s Rotten Tomatoes listing showed 74% from both critics and audiences when accessed on October 4, 2026. Those matching percentages are film-level aggregates, not a rating of Fisher’s individual contribution. Rotten Tomatoes filmography.

Now You See Me (2013)
This ensemble heist thriller casts Fisher in a prominent role among illusionists whose elaborate tricks draw them into a larger scheme. It suits viewers looking for brisk plotting and spectacle more than an intimate performance showcase. Its reception illustrates why the list does not sort by one score: Rotten Tomatoes listed 51% from critics and 70% from audiences on October 4, 2026. The gap reflects different overall responses to the film; it does not settle its value as a Fisher watch. Rotten Tomatoes filmography.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)
Fisher leads this romantic comedy as Rebecca Bloomwood, a compulsive shopper whose spending collides with her ambitions as a financial journalist. The film is a performance-led pick: the broad premise and uneven overall reception need not obscure the comic appeal of its central role. Roger Ebert captured that distinction in his February 11, 2009 review: “Confessions of a Shopaholic is no masterpiece. But it’s funny, Isla Fisher is a joy, and — of supreme importance — it is more entertaining to a viewer with absolutely no eagerness to see it (like me) than Sex and the City was.” Roger Ebert’s review.

The Great Gatsby (2013)
In Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, Fisher plays Myrtle Wilson, a supporting character in a story of wealth, longing and social division. Choose it for the period spectacle and literary adaptation, as well as for a different kind of supporting role from her comedies.
-
Rise of the Guardians (2012)
Fisher voices Tooth in this animated fantasy about childhood legends brought together to protect children. It offers a family-friendly alternative to the adult dramas and relationship comedies elsewhere in the ranking, and another chance to hear her work in animation.
Rank #4

-
Bachelorette (2012)
This ensemble comedy gives Fisher another comic register in a story centered on friends and a wedding. It is a worthwhile final pick for viewers who want more of her comedy after Wedding Crashers, though it is less defining as a single starting point than the higher-ranked entry.
How to choose your first Isla Fisher movie
- For fast, high-energy comedy: Start with Wedding Crashers.
- For romance: Try Definitely, Maybe; choose Confessions of a Shopaholic for a bigger, more performance-centered comic lead.
- For a darker mood: Pick The Lookout for crime-thriller tension or Nocturnal Animals for psychological drama.
- For animation: Choose Rango for a Western adventure or Rise of the Guardians for family fantasy.
- For a plot-driven ensemble: Now You See Me brings heist spectacle, while The Great Gatsby offers a lavish literary adaptation.
What the ratings can—and cannot—tell you
Rotten Tomatoes displays critic and audience percentages separately. The figures cited here are dynamic page snapshots accessed October 4, 2026, and can change. They summarize reactions to each film, not Fisher’s acting in isolation; use them as one context for choosing, not as a ranking of her performances. This list also considers role impact, genre, memorability and the range each film shows.
