Menma personality is like normal world Sasuke but without whole hate and revenge. He is not only "less dense", he is much more intelligent and calm comparing to Naruto. And he seems to be easily annoyed by pesky girls.

The episodes were not bad, even if it really makes no sense that RTN characters are there.

Exactly, that is the problem with this filler. While it is believable that TenTen wants her friends personality to be different (but why she would want Neji to be pervert and Shikamaru to be a dumb glutton?), changing names like with Naruto makes no sense. The same with Hokage Monument - why would she want Sakura's father to be Hokage?

Or for Kurenai to be a dumb bimbo who knew nothing about genjutsu but loved to read about it nonetheless. Which might mean that someone with no knowledge of genjutsu in the real world was probably a master of genjutsu in Tenten's dream, such as Might Guy.

Also if Neji and Hanzo were alive and well, where was Asuma? I can understand not seeing other "dead" characters like Danzo, Shikaku and Inoichi, since they weren't seen on screen as often but Asuma was always worked into anime episodes one way or another, particularly filler, whether he served a purpose or not.

As for Sakura's father being Hokage, wasn't he previously established to be a particularly weak ninja along the lines of a 40-year old genin somewhere along the line. Same level as Might Guy's father maybe. Seem to remember this being mentioned, probably in other filler material though.
