The third film of the franchise, Remember My Love has nothing much to say or offer. The premise, plot and pacing are all dull and are lacking creativity, even compared to shorter story arcs in the TV anime. This would perhaps have been acceptable as a multi episode arc in the TV show, but does not hold up as a standalone film, especially coming after Beautiful Dreamer.
The strengths of the film include a great soundtrack as always (though English speakers may feel discomfort due to the featured songs' inability to understand songwriting in English) and some good visuals, but those also pale in comparison to Beautiful Dreamer and Lum the Forever. Possibly due to the previous film basically ignoring fanservice, Remember My Love gives some screentime to most of the major characters of Urusei Yatsura, though they are not written particularly well either.
Due to the bad pacing and lack of substance, one may choose to skip this one even if they intend to watch all of Urusei Yatsura. That said, it's still recommendable to fans of the series and those who appreciate older anime. It doesn't border on unwatchable, it's simply a dull film with small pockets of excitement.

This Urusei Yatsura gives you a little more history to the UY universe. Lum is put under a curse at birth. Yeah I know it sounds like the sleeping beauty story, but this nothing like that curse this curse is far worse. Lum's future happiness is at stake here, It has some very funny moments as well as some sad ones too.
