I think so; it was a good movie with a really bad dub if I recall correctly. 
But
(correct me if I'm wrong) this story was not in the manga and is hence not
canon. Actually, UY doesn't have a very tight continuity, so in some sense 
there
isn't much of a canon for this series at all.

Um...well, you're wrong.  Big urban myth #1 - Inaba wasn't in the manga.
This myth proliferated by the berkeley UY page.  But he was.  Appeared
first in Vol. 24, which was the dreammaker story, albeit Rumiko version
(i.e. the OAV had much more overt romance).  He appeared on and off
throughout the rest of the manga, and is present at the end.

So it's canon.  Heh.  *All* of the OAV's except Ryoko's September Tea Party
and I'm the Shuu-chan are from the manga.  Late manga, but nevertheless...
Raging Sherbet actually works better in the manga, as Ataru is absent.
