Is there a rule that states the overview must be about the film?

It's very easy to find the rule pertaining to overviews of films. One might assume that the overview would be identified by it's being about the film.

Quote:
Copy the overview from the back of the DVD case exactly as written, including capitalization of words exactly as shown on the back of the case. Separate all paragraphs with a blank line.

If there is no overview on the back cover one may supply a simple, short overview.

I would call that a tagline, which the rules say to not contribute. When in doubt, it's always ok to just not contribute something, even if you decide to keep it locally. There's no shame in that.

The pretzels people turn themselves into attempting to comply with some collective standard for what a given profile and data point should look like.  Honestly, I'll never get it.  For purposes of contribution to the online database, sure.  In that context I'd agree.  Quasi marketing blurbs (...not a tagline) should not be included within the "Overview".

That being said, by all means, do whatever the heck you want to do with your profile locally.  There's absolutely no reason to submit to some collective set of rules.  It's your collection.  Contribute a given profile if you like following the current rules obtaining a consensus if need be, then lock your local profile down and do with it as you see fit.  Short of contributing a given profile it doesn't matter what you do.  You're not impacting anyone else's profiles in that case. 

The "Overview" section for me personally is a substitute for physically reading the back portion of the given cover art.  Anything is fair game.  If I want to include a marketing blurb or tagline that's presented prior to the actual "synopsis" of a title I include it.  If I don't, I don't.  My "Overview" sections include the "Bonus Feature" details from the back portion of the given cover art as well, most of the time verbatim.  Sometimes I'll include certain "Bonus Features" which are present on the discs, but not mentioned on the cover art.

My disc level profiles include only the "Bonus Feature" items included on the given disc, the verbiage from the Blu-ray menus used in most cases.  For TV series content my "Overview" sections include the "Synopsis", "Bonus Features" and an "Episode List" and an "Episode Guide" which follows the episode breakdown per disc, everything divided by separators.  It's all in one place, quick and easy to digest.
