Not at all, if you liked it that's fine & i'm glad you did. Heck, i laughed & enjoyed myself during the parts of it i liked. But that's absolutely NO reason to lower your standards.

I think it's insulting to the audience to expect or especially ASK them to lower their standards in order to find entertainment in a piece. either you'll meet their standards & they'll praise you; or you won't, and they'll criticize you (constructively i hope) which will push you to improve & grow as an artist.
