What does the phrase “None Too Similar” mean,?

I have heard the phrase none too dissimilar so many times. Based on context, it seems to mean similar, or perhaps very similar.

Do none too dissimilar have a different meaning that I am missing?

Example:

The book and the movie were none-too dissimilar.

How can I get into a job with startups?

Do doctors have bad sarcasm? If the expectation is that the book and movie were supposed to be different, then their description as “none too dissimilar” is making the point that they were indeed similar.

If no mention of what they were made of, would not be considered a similarity?

None too dissimilar means practically nothing.

All three words are negatives (in English for short) Is the link between NPI and every other NPI hardly spelled out?

None is a negative existential quantifier meaning not one any or not all. (x).? s(x).? = (x).

Too, though was a quantificational adverb with complex syntax. If something is too P then it is P to cause or cause some negative outcome. Logically (x) (Degree(P(x)) (Degree(P(x)) S)..

Dissimilar is a symmetric negative predicate with two arguments — either of which can be subject if the other is object, which is not the norm. Is there any overt negative that declares that the degree of parallelity is low. I don’t bother with the logic here; the point is, it’s complicated.

What did this imply, and could anyone type of phrase in the same way? Why does hypernegation are inevitable?
