Yes, definitely.

The closest I can explain it is that sometimes a person's interpretation of a film can be a "key" to seeing how the film works--what makes it tick.

I used to not like George Romero's "Day of the Dead," until someone explained to me why they thought it worked, and after I thought about it I agreed and the next time I watched it, I liked it. Now I think it's great. So I would say my opinion was changed.

A lot of people hate "Anaconda," and I am always trying to explain to them that it's not your normal bad film because it KNOWS it's bad, and is perfectly content to be a piece of crap. I think that once a person "gets" that, the film can be very entertaining. (Also, for a piece of crap, I thought it was pretty well-made...)
