Google defines "lame" as:
- unable to walk without difficulty as the result of an injury or illness affecting the leg or foot.
- (of something intended to be entertaining) uninspiring and dull.
- (of an explanation or excuse) unconvincingly feeble.
- (of a person) naive or socially inept.
- (of verse or metrical feet) halting; metrically defective.

Which of these could be meant here?

I’d say the second one

This one: (of an explanation or excuse) unconvincingly feeble.

I feel that it can also refer to a situation or something like a movie, too.
