I would say that Four Weddings and a Funeral was not ruined, but was great damaged by the casting of Andie MacDowell. It certainly turned what should have been a great British comedy into a merely good one.

Shameful that not one person has mentioned Sofia Coppola in The Godfather Part III.
I was so sure the first response in this thread would be a pic of her.

Although it didn't ruin the movie by any definition, I've always hated Quentin Tarantino as Jimmie in Pulp Fiction - QT came off as a guy Jules and Vincent wouldn't even waste a bullet on.

Definitely High Fidelity, the chick who plays Laura, John Cusack's girlfriend. She's just awful. Ugly, no personality and not interesting. Sticks out like a sore thumb amongst that great cast.
And yet, Rob is supposed to be pining and heartbroken that they aren't together. I love that movie but she is the one huge downside to the film.

Sofia Coppola in The Godfather Part 3. The role was originally intended for Winona Ryder, who would probably have been better but still wouldn't have seemed quite right as Michael Corleone's daughter. Coppola was just atrocious in the role, though, which, being a pivotal role in the film, dragged the whole film down.
