Cutting Class is as bizarre as it is bad, which proves to be a slight saving grace.

DVD Review

Positioned as both a slasher movie and a comedy, the movie pretty much fails on both counts.

A D-grade slasher flick that has delusions of comedy and mystery, of interest only to those who lust after Brad Pitt and would love to check out a performance the actor would probably rather forget.

Rated: 1.5/5

Brad Pitt's second movie. I'm amazed he got a third. This movie is pure crap. Even good actors in it like Martin mull and Roddy McDowall, are so wooden and one dimensional. There wasn't a believable character in the whole thing. Forget that Brad Pitt ever made this movie... I bet he wishes you would.

Was this made for a school project? Worst writing, acting, and editing I've ever seen.

This movie was really bad and I have to admit the only reason I clicked on this and stayed watching is because it had Brad Pitt.

The only reason we watched this was because they cut our wi-fi so we watched it on you tube with our phone data. We have so many regrets. 1 we wasted data 2 we wasted time 3 we needed to get wasted to finish the movie. 4 we now have hangovers. 5 I regret this movie more than my 2nd marriage.
