The more people involved in making a movie, the worse it is, generally.
Meaning of the quote
The more people that work on a movie, the more likely it is that the movie will not be as good. This is because with more people involved, it becomes harder to have everyone agree on how the movie should be made. When there are fewer people, it is easier to have a clear vision for the movie and make sure it turns out well.
