Overall a pretty decent UY film. It has most of what a UY movie should have. Animation was fairly solid, interesting story, lots of the usual UY antics. The character designs are great, but that's just because they were taken from the TV show at the time. For most fans who haven't been lucky enough to see the later episodes, this is their only glimpse to how the designs look when UY was in it's prime (quality-wise).
But I had one problem with this movie. It just tries way too hard to pull on the old heartstrings. It starts off as a mildly comical romp, but soon it turns into a huge weepy and sentimental journey. But as I just said, it tries too hard. It's not dramatic or poignant, just syrupy and sappy in it's sentimentality. While there are always a few sad or romantic moments in Urusei Yatsura, this movie tried to stretch it to the point where I didn't always find the portrayals believable. But that's about the only thing I didn't like. Remember my Love had a lot of good moments, but it is average fare for UY. I'd recommend it never the less.
