I had a less than great day at work today, because one of my jobs took an overly long time and was frustrating to do. However, the extra effort made the final result better, and more effort could have made it better still. I received advice and criticism, and used both to improve.
I'd have rather gotten it over with as quickly as possible, or better yet, done something else. I'd also like to get paid to chat with my friends all day, which is probably what actors usually mean when they say a set was fun to work on.
Regardless, it's not important whether people had fun making a movie. That's great for them, but the important thing is creating an entertaining product. The important thing with any job is to do well at it, whether that's fun or not.

Form what I understand it's actually a mixture of both horrible and fantastic experiences that define a good production. A truly good work essentially consumes the lives of those involved, which is of course a double edged sword. the lives of the performers and the rest of the crew involved revolve around the production the ups and downs of their lives are the ups and downs of the project. The performer's life outside the production naturally suffers because they don't HAVE one. However if their experiences are ONLY awful then the production suffers greatly. It's only when the bad experiences can be seen in the context of challenges to over come that they add to the production. Despite their complaints if you as a performer if given the chance would they change things they never say they regret it, if it was a quality production.
