Only 3 stars for UHF, eh? Well, we can still associate, just not in public.
Haven't got a chance to watch Ponyo yet. Hope to do so while it's still in theaters.

I originally rated it 3.5 and then marked it down after it sat in my mind a while. I saw it with an 8 and 11 year old and I think their laughter influenced me to give it that extra half star. Watching some of the jokes again, alone, I wondered if I will remember them in 6 months. But it was pleasant while I watched it, which usually equates to 3 stars from me. I had heard so much about it over the years, and frankly, I just didn't see what the big deal was. Funny, but nothing epic.
