Me enjoying a movie does in no way exclude it from being a bad movie.

Seeing as I do enjoy watching bad movies. Terrible acting, bad cuts, awful dialog. I love it.

I think there's a certain "The Producers" threshold beyond which a merely bad piece of art becomes a captivating car-wreck. But it's an esoteric mix of elements. For every "Rocky Horror Picture Show" there's a dozen "Mac and Me"s.

Wasn't Rocky Horror shot on an absolutely shoestring budget? I feel they deserve a lot of leeway for that.

A shoestring budget and a half dozen of the best actors of the next decade

I read it the opposite way because Rocky horror is so well done imo. I don't even know what Mac & me is so i assumed it was the garbage end if the spectrum. Though if it's one of the movies they made in IASIP then nothing make sense.

This is why I love Nicolas Cage films. But they're intentionally bad, campy and corny as an anti style.
