This topic reminds me of an experience when I was young (around 12 or 13 years old) - one of my older brothers took me to see a movie called FM (1978).
It's a little known film that some believed was the inspiration for the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati (but the pilot for the TV series was already filmed before this movie was released) - the movie was about a radio station's DJ's rebelling against increasing on-air advertising and revolved around an upcoming Linda Ronstadt concert.
I was bored and found the film intolerable as none of it interested me (I was hardly into what was the current music scene at the time) - I was really mad at my brother for taking me to it and making me sit through it. But here's the thing: it was never a "great" film or anything, but it really pulled together by the end and I found myself actually engaged in the climax. I ended up really enjoying it and part of the enjoyment was how I pretty much hated the first half of the film!
Lesson learned: best to watch a film to the end - sometimes you'll be pleasantly surprised.

But if it sucks, I ain't watching it to the end!
