In 2009, Hader co-starred in Greg Mottola's critically acclaimed feature film "Adventureland," opposite SNL co-star Kristen Wiig; Hader co-starred in the box office hit "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" with Ben Stiller, and "Tropic Thunder" opposite Tom Cruise. Hader was the lead voice in the 3-D animated film "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" opposite Anna Faris, which earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Animated Feature. Hader can also be heard as The Voice in the 2010 action comedy "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" starring Michael Cera. He most recently appeared in the comedy feature film "Paul," with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Kristen Wiig, directed by Mottola, the third collaboration between the actor and director. In summer 2011 Hader completed production on "The To Do List," a film written and directed by his wife Maggie Carey.
