I can't remember who the major studio is that is being targeted, but I read yesterday in the latest edition of Video Store magazine that there is a class action suit being filed against a movie company for the fake reviews they put on their cover boxes. I thought that was just so stupid. I guess those people aren't only swayed by reviewers when it comes to choosing movies, but are even swayed by the movie reviews blurbs on cover boxes. Honestly, can't anybody take responsibility for their selves?
At the store I work at, we used to guarantee that you would love your favorites or you would get your next rental free. I honestly hated that policy and would wince when I had to give out free rentals to some dumb@$$ who rented an obviously BAD movie (and you can't expect me to believe they looked at that cover box and thought it would be good, they just wanted a free rental). I believe people should be responsible for what they watch, they shouldn't be able to take it back to the store and expect anything in return if they don't like it. We now have a similar policy to promote DVDs and I had somebody bring back Nurse Betty and say they didn't like it. Nurse Betty! Either he was lying or he was just a loser, that's a great movie! Ok, enough on that.
All these class action suits do nothing but line the pockets of lawyers. The article said that 20million will be spent in lawyers fees (WHO IS PAYING THIS on both sides????) and the result, if successful, is that the people involved, the customers, will all get 50¢ off coupons on their purchase for product from that movie company. Big whoop.
