That is utter codswallop, Go-Mer-Tonic! What you're talking about is having low standards for the quality of a film. I am proud that I will not call bad acting good or just ignore poor writing or direction. If you can honestly say that you will take any old crap just because you want to be able to enjoy it, then I feel sorry for you. I have high standards when it comes to cinema and, for me, the most enjoyment I get is from seeing films made well.
