The Worst Brad Pitt Movie of All Time, According to Critics

This leading man has made some major movie mistakes.

You won't find any major movie star without some clunkers under their belt. Even the best actors make mistakes, and Brad Pitt is no exception. While he's been nominated for several acting Oscars, finally winning one for 2020's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he's also made some films he'd probably rather his fans forget. Based on the reviews, we've collected the worst Brad Pitt movies of all time.

We consulted Rotten Tomatoes' ranked list of every Brad Pitt film, then zeroed in on the lowest-scoring entries. You'll find some actual box-office hits along with notorious flops here—and some movies you totally forgot existed. Note that the ranking is done by an algorithm that weights some critics above others, so don't be surprised if some of the scores seem out of order. Regardless, these movies represent the worst reviews of Pitt's career.
