9 Movies Brad Pitt Ruined

Brad Pitt is a great actor when he wants to be and when he puts in the effort. During his long career in Hollywood, he got to play some amazing parts and did a great job. It’s hard to imagine anyone else but him playing that iconic role in Fight Club, he was absolutely incredible in Inglourious Basterds. Many still drool over him in the movie Interview With a Vampire and his role in Snatch is pretty memorable too. But he’s been in some bad movies too, and this list is just a reminder that not every movie can be saved by Brad Pitt being in it.

1. Cutting Class

Cutting Class was a dark comedy slasher and one of the first movies that had Brad Pitt in the credits. However, the movie itself was bad, to say the least, and Brad’s acting here was absolutely awful. We’re not sure if it’s because he hasn’t honed in on his acting skills just yet at that point or if it’s because he knew it was gonna be bad so he didn’t put in the effort.

2. Burn After Reading

It’s a Cohen brothers movie, so there’s a cult following around it, but we think that Brad’s acting was just not in line with the rest of the movie. He was just so upbeat and weird that it took away from the overall mood of the movie. We were kind of relieved when his character was killed off.

3. Mr & Mrs Smith

You might remember the fact that this was the movie that became the beginning of the end of Pitt’s relationship with Jennifer Anniston. Soon after it came out they broke up and he officially became romantically involved with Angelina Jolie. Sure, their chemistry in the movie is unmistakable, but since that’s not acting, it’s not very impressive, and while the rumors about their affair created a lot of hype for the movie, the actual film didn’t do so well in the box office.
