Hmm, as much as I dislike advertising (which is packed with all kinds of lies, not just about the cast of a movie), their loss here doesn't seem to justify a suit? I mean, $3.99 for a disappointing rental, that can't even be worth taking to Small Claims can it?

Fear of lawsuits is what companies have instead of a sense of morality.
Therefore, unless you can make something damage them financially, they will not alter their behavior.
That behavior includes making noise about "frivolous litigation" which is how you know litigation works.

It’s a class action. They will probably end up winning a few dollars or a free movie credit for everyone who rented it, and almost everyone but these plaintiffs won’t have to do any work.

The person who did it must have done it for the sense of justice and I admire it. They didn't do it for themselves, they did it for everyone else.
