It is NOT relevant to the substance of the Overview or if you prefer plot summary.

If that is the criteria then a lot of overviews need to be trimmed.

if the tagline is of the same font and style and within the same boundary or border as the overview .. it should be left .. but taglines are usually larger fonts and expressing an advertised look to the likability of you seeing or buying that DVD ..

That sure sounds reasonable, but I can't see anything in the rules that makes this distinction...
You're not advocating common sense, are you?

At least he understandsw not only what an Overview but the intent of the Rule. Congrats, Terry, unlike some

Understanding the intent - good
Using common sense - bad

Am I the only one who sees a conflict here...?

You are not the only.
I've seen that excuse (intent) used to often, pertaining to the rules. The problem is what they were thinking (Those involved with the rules) didn't transfer to written word very well. And unless we all start reading minds we are going to have the same problems over and over. So Ken needs to get someone who can write exactly what he's thinking to edit the contribution rules so everyone can contribute what is the rule and not what the intentions of the rule might be (depending on what side of the issue certain people are on).

Many times a simple clarification of the rules by Ken would take care of the arguments and the bickering. In my opinion he should jump in and modify the wording of the rules in question and/or simply add something on to make the rules more precise.

Please show me where these distinctions are identified in the Rules!

Please show me where the rules gives us a distinction...period!

Its left up to the user to decide what constitutes a tagline and what doesn't. Currently 81% of the voters disagree with your interpretation of what a tagline is or isn't.

The simplest explanation is the majority of the voters have a misconception of what a tagline is.

Examples of taglines:

12 Monkeys - The Future is History
28 weeks - When days turn to weeks...the horror returns.
100 Rifles - They're all the ammo they need.
Adam Had Four Sons - True Love Conquers Betrayal
Air America - Anything. Anywhere. Anytime.
The Air I Breathe - Sometimes the things we can't change....end up changing us.
Stage Fright - Hands that applaud can also kill.
The Wrong Man - An innocent man has nothing to fear.
Along Came a Spider - The game is far from Over.
Amadeus - ...Everything you've heard is true.
Amelia - A love without limits. A life without fear.
American Beauty - .....look closer
The Amityville Horror - For God's Sake, Get Out!
Analyze This - You try telling him his 50 minutes are up!

That's just into the A's, I could list hundreds more examples, none of which would look like the one in the OP.

They are a very condensed (or short) version of the moral of the story.  They DO NOT EVER include the names of the actors in the movie.

Your earlier description that this is an uncredited review, is much more on target.  However, because it is uncredited, there's no way of knowing for certain that it is a review, therefore it does not fall under the Rule excluding reviews and should be included in the Overview.

Famous Film Taglines (as you can see…they’re not all short and sweet as you would have us believe :

I don't consider any of these to be "taglines".  They are plot summaries or uncredited reviews.
