  1. Did you write, direct, produce, and cater the film?
  2. Is the sole camera used for filming your mom’s?
  3. How far into the movie do you go before showing breasts?  Usually the sooner you resort to nudity to gain interest in your movie, the worse it is.
  4. Is the soundtrack death-metal from you/your friends’ band?
  5. Does your friends’ band double as the cast?
  6. Did you goto a rave and hand out free drugs to anyone willing to put on zombie makeup?
  7. Did you forgo professional sound equipment and rely on the on-board mic on the camera?
  8. Does your movie have one filming location and is that location your house / school?

Hopefully some of these tips will help you to better decide if the movie you are working on is worth working on.  And remember, when in doubt of the quality of it, throw more nudity in.
