Forget the summer blockbusters fighting for supremacy at the box office this season, I'm most excited to see Absolut Vodka Presents 'Lemon Drop' starring Ali Larter.
The hilarious faux-retro movie trailer for the flick, which will actually be released on Facebook, shows Ali Larter as 70s action hero 'Lemon Drop.' The tie-ins to Absolut's lemon flavored vodka are painfully obvious, but it's all in good fun and great marketing. So who needs to see 'Eclipse' when Absolut Vodka presents 'Lemon Drop?'
