"Ponyo on the cliff"（崖の上のポニョ） is now showing in Japan. It is directed by a very famous director, Miyazaki Hayao（宮崎 駿）. I had been interested in it. If I would hear a good evaluation about it from someone who saw it, I would plan to see it.
My wife and daughter went to see the movie on August 6. But, unfortunately, it betrayed my wife's expectation. I decided not to go to a movie theater for it. (But, I will see it on a television program in a few years.)
My wife says that the movie has left uncomfortable, unstable feeling in her mind.
But, I like this song very much. It has a lot of imitative words.

Wow, it sounds a lot like your wife really disliked this movie. I had heard about it, but the song is cute.
私の英語がうまく通じていない気がするので、日本語で一言。
妻の話によると、「なんかとても後味が悪い映画」だったとのこと。どういうことかというと、映画の中で「これは最終的にどうなるんろう」というところが何箇所かあり、それが解決しないまま、「エンド」となったそうです。そういう意味で、とても面白くなかったそうです。
Bikenglishさんの英語が通じなかったわけでもありませんが、日本語を読むと伝えたいことがぴんときました。ありがとうございます。面白くなかったんですね。面白そうなのに、残念！
ところで、「なんかとても後味が悪い映画」を英語にすると、「It was a movie that left a bad taste in my mouth」となります。
例文： Bill said that his date with Pamela left a bad taste in his mouth.
