Just thought I would bump this as I had my first decline. I have only submitted 3 so far and got declined for "Jake explores Grey's Anatomy" for the film Moonlight Mile. In that film Jake Gyllenhaal's character has a sexual relationship with Ellen Pompeo who now plays Meredith Grey in Grey's Anatomy.
I think that could have been a borderline accept?  |

Welcome Candice! I may be wrong, but that does sound like a good review to me. Of course, they may not have understood it. Did you explain this with your review? If you haven't deleted it, you might want to resubmit it and give that explination.

Hey Candice, big welcome 
I agree with CL that the review is probably good, but if I were a MERP I wouldn't have understood it without an explanation, and that's probably the reason for the decline.
I would suggest you resubmit it with a 100 word explanation |

Hi Candice, welcome to our happy place.
I agree with those two wise users above, resub it.
I gave you exactly two votes to make up for the decline you had.

Hey Candice! Just raised your vote count for a Welcome Mat
Though I'm nowhere near as experienced on FWFR as these other guys, my own rule is not to reference TV characters names unless they've passed into legend -- like Mork. I think some of the MERPS [those cine-gods who help benj to judge our reviews] are from the UK, where Grey's Anatomy, for example, isn't available in all parts of the country, and anyway isn't nearly as big a hit as it is in the states. So even with an explanation, I'd say it was stretching the point. That said --- it's a terrific review as a concept 
Keep 'em coming!

Hi Candice, and welcome to fwfr. As a rule, reviews shouldn't need explanations in order to 'get' them. I certainly wouldn't get that review without your explanation, but that's mainly as I've never heard of Grey's Anatomy or Ellen Pompeo or Moonlight Mile. But, you're on the right track, as has already been mentioned you should resubmit this review with a short explanation (you're limited to 100 characters) so that the Editors have enough information to make their decision. That review is a valid style and should pass the second time round, although it will only ever be understood by a relatively small number of people.
Keep 'em coming. You've made a good start for a blonde!   |

| Grey's Anatomy just hit Singapore and by the way it's been received here, I suspect within the year it'll be a hit in both UK and NZ |

Yeah, another strikingly original concept, a drama set in a hospital, with lots of sex. How did they think that one up? |

You know, that's exactly what my husband said. Then he watched an episode and really liked it. There's something about it that's not your typical hospital drama with sex.

I agree. There's something a little bit different about it. We're only on episode 6 or 7 here but I'm enjoying it. Sandra Oh is great in it. |

Also, thanks to BaftaBabe, Sean, Bife and ChocolateLady for the tips above
Maybe on second thoughts it was a bit obscure.
And thanks to everyone that voted for the reviews I've made. Not sure if they are quite worthy of the votes yet but it's appreciated |
