It is usually considered a compliment, sometimes with a bit of humor or surprise. It nearly always means something very good, even if it is a combination of two words that seems like they are not good. :-)

Well, it means the same the word "damn" means, though I would not use that word you've asked about 'cause it belongs to an abusive language.
Compare:
This movie is damn fantastic.
This band is damn boring.
It is an intensifying adverb.
So without a context it is a pretty difficult task to determine whether this word has positive or negative shade.

Elina and C'et la vie, you are both describing something like those funny smiles which we all make when learning a new language and pretend to understand by being agreeable. It can lead to unfortuneate misunderstandings.
