Sue the distributor - pftt, obviously.

Woman Sues Because 'Drive' Isn't Enough Like 'Fast and the Furious' (http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/10/11/woman-sues-because-drive-isnt-enough-like-fast-and-the-furious/)

Apparently, even the likes of Ryan Gosling isn't enough to get movie viewers' hearts racing in anticipation anymore.
Sarah Deming, a Michigan resident, filed a lawsuit (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/oct/10/woman-sues-drive-trailer) against FilmDistrict, the distributors of the recently released Drive which stars Gosling. She claims that the movie's trailer "promoted the film Drive as very similar to The Fast and [the] Furious, or similar, series of movies," but failed to deliver on the adrenaline rush.
According to the lawsuit—and any number of movie reviews—Drive deals heavily with the emotional storyline of Gosling's stuntman-turned-getaway driver, and isn't simply a movie filled with driving scenes. Deming claims the trailer misleads viewers, and hopes to build a class action suit so that all moviegoers who feel cheated can file suit against other disappointing blockbusters.

I expected something else from reading the title of this topic. See you in court.

Actually just for the lulz I should really try to sue you and see if it actually works.
