Assuming the base story is solid, with a clear protagonist and clear antagonist, it's easier to adapt mediocre source material, because you get more flexibility. Some of the best moments in HONEYMOON IN VEGAS -- the ones with Nancy Opel -- are moments that are not in the movie. Conversely, great source material tends to be tightly coupled to its medium (there are exceptions, of course).
