Back in October, we told you about Michigan moviegoer and Certified Smart Person (TM) Sarah Deming, who sued distributor FilmDistrict over its acclaimed release Drive. Ms. Deming’s objection? That FilmDistrict “promoted the film Drive as very similar to the Fast and Furious, or similar, series of movies,” but actually, “Drive bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film… having very little driving in the motion picture.” Yep, a moviegoer sued a distributor for not delivering on the promise of high quality she’s come to expect from Fast and Furious-style movies. And the Internet issued a collective face-palm.

2011 in film controversies 

heres the thing though. They did advertise it completely that way. And I too was severely disappointed in a film called Drive having so little driving. When it was some of the best parts of the movie too.
