Reply to comment by notoliberals in Is it just be that found the trailer for "In Bruges" to be deceitful? by notoliberals

That’s not false advertising. The trailer depicted characters in the town of Bruges where the film took place, it showed the marketed actors who were in the film, and gave the name of the film. Trailers are allowed to be creatively misleading for marketing purposes, that doesn’t reach the threshold for false advertising.

That sounds like something a lawyer defending the fraudsters in court might say. The point is that it didn't honestly depict the product that was actually there. I got something other than what I was promised in the trailer.
