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.

Pretty much THE only reason to see this is, yes, Brad Pitt in his first starring role. Thats all. This is a pretty ordinary blah killer on the loose in the school thriller outside of that. There's some oddball behaviour and some weird star turns (seeing Pitt and Malcolm McDowell on the screen together was a trip), and the ending is... interesting.. but that's it, really.

Unless you just want to see a young Pitt there is nothing interesting here.

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.

DVDTalk.com

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
