nothing to write home about

can anyone explain to me this: nothing to write home about
For example:
"I saw a film last night but it was nothing to write home about."
This idiom means the film was not special. It was ok but not really good. If it had been really good, really special, I might have written a letter to my family back home telling them about it.
