Oh, I know that's not what it means, but I was just telling you what that kind of movie is called if it isn't done really well.

Thank you, Matroskin! I'll use it.
BTW, does "kind film" sound strange to you? Would native English speaker understand what this is supposed to mean?
Всегда пожалуйста. I think he would understand, but it sounds "foreign" because we don't call things kind.

P.S. Can you give an example of a Western film that would qualify as "добрый"?
