Oh I agree he's a great actor. He is a teenie bop idol though...I mean, he's freakin' Brad Pitt. Teenage gals think he's hot stuff (I'll admit...he is).
But when we saw the preview and I heard several teenage gals near me (including my girlfriend...rrrg) get excited that Brad Pitt was in the movie, I thought it may not have been the best choice, although he will probably do an excellent job with the role.
